There are about 16 days left in 2007 and I thought it might be valuable to toss out questions and ideas about last minute tax deductions. Many here have probably already had their year planned and have executed that plan, but there are many who are new and might benefit from an idea of a deduction this year.

I projected my taxes and income for the rest of the year and calculated that I could buy a Mac for my business, with the money I had set aside to pay taxes, because with the deduction I will already have paid enough for this year.

Any ideas on how to justify the purchase of an Ipod? :banana:
