Whats up with the popular advice to donate to a charity to increase your tax return?
I mean, donating spare cash to a charity is incredibly noble, but paying $1000 with the intent of geting $400 more tax back???
It seems a LOT of people (I'm not talking about this forum - just the population in general) think that claiming something in a tax return means that they are getting the item for free.
Am I missing something?
