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.
One of my favorite tax deductions is to deduct mileage used for business. If you are driving your car for business, you can deduct 55 cents (56.5 cents for 2013) for every mile you drive. Thatâs pretty generous in my opinion considering that $4 per gallon gasoline for a car that gets 30 miles per gallon costs you 13 cents per mile.
