Just in case you or someone you know might be able to help... -----Original Message----- From: Tammy Doukas <tdoukas(a)stanford.edu> Sent: Wednesday, December 22, 2010 11:53 PM To: General mickaboo discussion <discuss(a)mickaboo.org> Subject: [Mickaboo Discuss] finch transport - help! Hi guys, We need someone to please transport 1 cage of canaries and 1 cage of finches from For the Birds in San Jose to San Ramon. The birds need to be transferred on the 23rd or the 24th. If they are picked up on the 24th, they need to be picked up before 1pm, because the hospital closes at 1pm. I know it's short notice, but if anyone is going from San Jose to San Ramon Thursday or Friday, we would really really appreciate it. Please respond to tdoukas(a)stanford.edu (I'm not on the discuss list.) Also, if anyone has 2 cages that are at least 30" wide (side to side) with bar spacing no greater than 1/2", please let me know. The cages do NOT need to be stainless or coated, since finches and canaries don't need the expensive cages, since they don't climb on the bars or bite them. Thank you!

Wow! That's a lot of birds and an incredible display of just one small slice of Mickaboo's incredible work. Thank you Friederike for publishing all these moving stories and thank you to all the many fosters and coordinators and administrative volunteers and donors that are making care of these orphaned innocents possible. I'm all choked up and need to go hug all my birds right now!

FW: [Mickaboo Discuss] Income tax deduction available to foster parents

What she said! (MickaCoo is included under the business & tax "wing" of Mickaboo.) e -----Original Message----- From: Lee, Pamela A <pamela.a.lee(a)bankofamerica.com> Sent: Monday, December 20, 2010 4:53 PM To: discuss(a)mickaboo.org Subject: [Mickaboo Discuss] Income tax deduction available to foster parents I finally spent some quality time on the phone with the IRS to figure out whether toys, food, and cage supplies could qualify as foster parents deductible charitable contributions when they itemize. The answer is YES, but there's some paperwork involved, since Mickaboo will need to provide a tax receipt to support the deduction. The foster parent would need to provide: · copies of their receipts (with a total dollar amount for all receipts). The receipts must show the place, date, amount, and nature of the expenses. · a statement saying the purchased items were for foster birds x, y and z (replace x, y and z with real names). The certification will be particularly important for households with both foster and "owned" birds. The foster parent should keep one copy of the package for their tax records, and send another to Mickaboos PO Box 697, San Jose, CA 95106. When Mickaboo gets the package, we will double-check the birds are/were fosters. Assuming all is OK, Mickaboo (Heather) will send our standard tax receipt to the foster parent. Fosters are allowed these deductions due to a combination of rules about "out of pocket expenses in giving services" and "contributions of property". And dont forget you can deduct $0.14/mile driven to perform services for charitable organizations (like Mickaboo), as long as you kept appropriate documentation. Let me know what questions you may have.
