So I've never smoked a brisket before (been doing ribs n butts), mostly because of price. The only semi-reasonable meat I can find are really lean flat cuts at something crazy like $6.30 a pound. Is there any way to smoke these guys so they don't turn out like shoe leather?
Claiming the Deduction. Taxpayers looking to claim the ownership tax deduction would itemize the deduction on a Schedule A on IRS Form 1040. The Colorado ownership tax charged is found on the vehicle registration receipt under the section labeled OWN. TAX. Colorado taxpayers who are taking the standard deduction, and wish to deduct new vehicle sales taxes can do so on a Schedule L form. The Schedule L can be used with both the 1040 and 1040A tax forms.
Standard Mileage Deductions. When using your car for any tax deductible purpose, you can either deduct the actual costs of operating the vehicle or take the standard mileage deduction rates.
