All 2016 contributions need to be turned in by Friday, December 30. Contributions can be given to Greg Yarnell, or dropped by the church office.
If you would like to claim a 2017 contribution on your 2016 taxes, please note on your check that the contribution should be applied to your 2017 pledge or the 2017 budget.
Also, the IRS provision that allows you to make a contribution directly from an IRA is now permanent. Previously it had been approved only on a calendar year basis. Talk to you tax advisor to see if it would benefit you to take advantage of this provision. Direct contributions from an IRA can be used to satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution.
