Tax Tip:
RE: disaster-related expenses.

If your insurance doesn’t cover damage from the recent storms, make sure to keep a record of how much you spent for the repairs.

Right now, CA is in a state of emergency, which could qualify CA taxpayers to write off these expenses on their state tax return.

Also, if the President declares a state of emergency too, you might also qualify for the tax deduction on your federal tax return.

Check with your tax professional for specific scenarios.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: Governor Newsom proclaimed a state of emergency for several counties in Southern California to support storm response and recovery efforts. SACRAMENTO – Today…

Happy Monday, folks!

I’m gonna start posting photos of fake emails to help anyone see what a suspicious/fake email may look like.

In this case, this email is disguising itself as coming from a well-known bank. Easiest way to tell if it’s suspicious is by looking at the email it was sent from.

Anyone can change the “name” of the email into whatever they want, but that’s why it’s important to look at what email was used.

For example, if you get an email from Wells Fargo bank, the email address *should* end in “@ wellsfargo.com “

If not and it looks like the photo, DO NOT click on any links or reply to the email.

Delete it.

Feel free to forward this post to anyone who could benefit from this!

The word’s out!!

This 2023 sailing sold out so fast, but 2024’s sailing was just released. Balconies (aka Sea Terrace) start as low as ~$3500. Most luxury cruise lines cost at least $8k-$10k. This itinerary will definitely sell out fast.

And in travel news,

Greece seems to be on everyone’s minds at the moment.

Great to hear from a friend I haven’t talked to or seen since college, but was able to help them book their summer vacation. Cannot wait for the reunion!

There’s about a dozen more friends eyeing this specific itinerary, and the current promo just slashed an extra $1000 off the total price, and with an overnight stay in Mykonos, it’s no wonder why this sailing is so popular.

This new listing brings us into the heart of Chino at College Park/ Morgan Square.

The best feature this community has to offer is their resort-like experience for its residents. The clubhouse, gym, splash park, swimming pool and walking trails are all within walking distance and is very close to Ayala Park and Chaffey College.

Today’s open house will be from 10am-4pm on (1/07/23).
