Christmas and the Trades
Here's a little e-book that we highlighted last December that may have a lesson for many
members of the trades.
The Plumber and the Wishing Well
A plumber doesn't have enough
money for his children's Christmas presents. His friend, Tupo, discovers a secret wishing well. The wishing well had broken down
so it can't grant them their Christmas wishes. Tupo tells them they need a plumber to repair it.
When the plumber arrives to do the
job, the little people offer to pay him lots of money
that he could use for his children's presents. He is
very good at fixing broken pipes and leaking taps but
can he repair a wishing well? If he can, everyone,
including his children, are going to get their Christmas
presents and have their best Christmas ever.
To reinforce the premise of
the book, we found the book
listed on one site for a 50% discount.
Year
End Business Tax Tips
-
Retirement Plan: Make your
contributions to your retirement plan. If you
don't have one, set one up and fund it. This will
not only provide for your future, but could reduce your
tax bill for the year.
-
Buy It Now: If you need a
new piece of equipment or new Price Books, get them now.
As a business expense, they can reduce your tax bill,
and you get the added
 benefit of working more
efficiently now.
-
Donate Now: If your
business is not a C corporation, any donations you make
now will probably reduce this year's tax bill.
-
Get a Refund: There is a
one time chance to get the IRS to give back to you.
For this year only, you can apply for a refund of some
telephone taxes you paid between 2003 and this year.
The IRS has a
form (don't they always) that will allow you to
determine the amount without digging out your old
receipts.
-
 Crunch
Your Numbers: You have another year's worth
of financial information that you can summarize in
Numbers Cruncher. Do a quick update your
numbers, and you'll be ready to confidently start
the new year knowing that your prices are where you
need them to be. If you have the latest
version of Numbers Cruncher, now is the time to take
advantage of the new flexibility to make the numbers
match your business.

Freebie of
the Month
The freebie of the month is a web site or
product that we feel gives you some-thing worth looking
at or using that costs you nothing.
As
the end of the year and Christmas approaches we decided
to take a break from the freebie theme. Instead
we'd like to give you a listing of web sites that may
make your charitable giving easier. These sites
provide information and ratings for hundreds of
charities.
Charity Navigator is a comprehensive site that not
only gives you resources to evaluate and choose, but it
also gives advice on how to make your giving work the
hardest.
Guidestar
Charity.com
Schwab has a site with links to places you can
volunteer your services.
Forbes Magazine has their annual look at the 200
largest US charities with evaluations and ratios to help
you decide where to give.
Even the
IRS has a site that allows you to check the tax
status of charities.
Use these sites to help you make a more informed
financial decision, but the decision on where and how
much you give is up to you.
If you have
a favorite Free site, let us know.
