If you donate artwork to charity, the deduction you can claim depends on several factors, including the type of organization receiving the piece and how it will be used. Your deduction will generally be reduced if the charity’s use of the artwork is unrelated to the purpose or function that’s the basis for its qualification as a tax-exempt organization. The reduction equals the amount of capital gain you would have realized had you sold the artwork instead of giving it to charity. Other deduction limits as well as special substantiation and appraisal rules also may apply. If you’re considering donating artwork or other valuable property, contact us at 713-444-1494 for help ensuring the best tax outcome.

Window tracks collect more dust and grime than most people realize. A quick deep clean can instantly freshen up a room.

1. Use the crevice attachment on your vacuum or an old paintbrush to loosen dust, dirt, and insects from the tracks, corners, and window sills.
2. Fill a spray bottle with 1 cup of water, 1 cup of distilled white vinegar, and a few drops of dish soap.
3. Sprinkle baking soda along the tracks, then spray with the vinegar solution. The fizzing helps break down buildup. Let it sit for about five minutes.
4. Use an old toothbrush to scrub away grime. Cotton swabs work well for tight corners and narrow edges.
5. Use a damp microfiber cloth to remove loosened dirt and residue. Finish with a clean cloth and allow the tracks to air dry.

If the IRS audits your income tax return, you may need to produce documentation. In general, the IRS has three years to assess additional tax, starting from the date the return was filed or due, whichever is later. For example, if you filed your 2022 return by the April 18 deadline in 2023, the IRS generally has until April 18, 2026, to assess a tax deficiency. So you potentially can discard records related to that return after April 2026. But records should be held longer in certain situations. And you should keep copies of your returns forever. Call us at 713-444-1494 with questions.

One of the greatest risks to your estate plan is the chance of incurring substantial long-term care (LTC) costs. These costs can quickly erode the savings you want to pass on to your family after your death. One solution is to purchase an LTC insurance policy. The policy’s terms dictate the amount of benefits you’ll receive each day or month, up to a defined lifetime maximum or number of years. A policy generally provides benefits when you can’t perform multiple basic activities of daily living or if you experience cognitive impairment. Carefully compare policy options, costs and benefits to find the best fit for your needs and goals. Call us at 713-444-1494 for help evaluating what’s appropriate for your situation.

If you’re thinking about relocating, don’t choose a new state based only on climate, cost of living or proximity to family. Also review the tax implications.
For example, some states don’t have a personal income tax, and some that do have one offer tax breaks for pension payments, retirement plan distributions and Social Security payments. Also be aware that a state with no personal income tax may impose high property, sales or estate taxes.
Before making a move, contact us at 713-444-1494 to review the potential income, property, sales and estate tax implications. We can help you minimize potential negative tax consequences and make the most of any tax advantages offered by the new state.

Do you hold assets such as overseas real estate, foreign bank accounts or investments in international markets? Proper estate planning for foreign assets is essential to avoid unexpected tax consequences, legal complications and administrative delays for heirs. To ensure that your foreign assets are distributed according to your wishes, your will must be drafted and executed in a manner that will be accepted in the United States as well as in the country or countries where your assets are located. Often, it’s possible to prepare a single will that meets the requirements of each jurisdiction. But it may be preferable to have separate wills for foreign assets. Call us at 713-444-1494 for additional details.
