    I'd love to give it to people who actually need and might even deserve it. Our government is neither of those things.
    ...
    Can that already be done? Any Tax Attorneys online?
    Can you figure out what your tax liability is going to be and give that amount away to the charities of your choosing... then, reconcile the amount on your tax filing and receive that amount in the form of a refund?
    Can that be done?

    I think the issue is you aren't refunded 100% of what you donate. I think in my case it's more like 30% of what I give to charity is refunded. In Kobe's case, I'm assuming he'd get back even less.

    But I'd absolutely love to be able to give to the charities of my choice and have that same amount reduced from my tax liability. I would have no problem with that whatsoever. In fact, I'd likely stop complaining about the government if that were the case.

    It never will be, though...
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    ok, so at present Gov both Fed State and local are due 14 mil? Now , lets just see what happens when his accountants get done with his return.

    See, there is a difference between what the "on paper before anyone does their magic in theory" liability is and what is actually paid.

    Per diem for away games or other time away from home for business.
    Other expenses related to such travel that is his responsibility to pay up front.
    Charitable donations
    Mortgage interest deduction.
    On and On and On and On........



    I'm not crying for Kobe.
