If you’re like me, I’ve got far too much stuff.  I am always saying I need to get rid of, well once again I’ve started doing.

I recently had a property listed in Summerfield where they previously had an estate sale.  The estate sale company was wonderful and I would happily refer them to you if you need someone.

Recently, I read an article saying baby boomers need to be careful when unloading their belongings as the IRS may come after you.

Here’s a link to that article.

There are some good suggestions in this article including:

“When donating to charity, those who itemize deductions on their tax returns can generally claim a deduction for an item’s fair market value. Keep photographs of what you gave away, along with research supporting the value of the deduction you claimed and an acknowledgement of the gift from the charity, says Ms. Perlman. For donations of items worth more than $5,000, you must obtain an appraisal.”

I don’t know about you, but I’ve never taken pictures prior to donating any items.
