Deductions - Payroll deductions begin with the first paycheck
following setup, and continues in equal deductions each pay
period. This donation method continues automatically, from one
year to the next, without the need to submit a new donation
form. However, if you want to change the amount of
your donation, a new form is required.
Many employers match gifts made by their employees, or make
grants to organizations recommended by employees. Be sure
to ask your company how it can help your gift go even further.

automatic payroll deductions, please contact
us via e-mail or call us at (808) 306-3968.
Personal Possessions - If you donate personal possessions
— a camera, refrigerator, clothes or the like —
you can take a tax deduction for the property's fair market
value. The IRS says the fair market value of used clothes,
furniture and similar items is the amount people would pay
for the items at thrift shops or used clothing stores. You
can determine the size of the deduction to take by checking
with local stores.
If you contribute property owned for more than one year,
the value of the deduction is normally equal to the property's
fair market value. You have an advantage when you contribute
appreciated property because you get a deduction for the full
fair market value of the property. You are not taxed on any
of the appreciation, so, in effect, you receive a deduction
for an amount that you never reported as income.

if any, of the alternative minimum tax. |
