I learned something new today!!!
on: April 15, 2026, 07:38:08 PM
April 15 in the U.S. of A. is tax day.  You must, by this date, you must report your income for the previous year and settle your tax obligations.

And, again this year, I have been told that my contributions to USA knife makers in exchange for interesting cutting objects is not tax deductible.

And, then this year after several sizable contributions to VICTORINOX in SWITZERLAND, learn two things.

FIRST - Switzerland is not a third world country, yes it is small, but not underprivileged.
 
SECOND - VICTORINOX is NOT the charitable organization I thought.   Each and every donation I made in 2025 has been denied as deductions.

Since learning this yesterday, I had less than 24 hours to correct my return and settle my account. 😳

This message’s sole porpoise is to inform and educate. And maybe even cause a snicker🤪



If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

Uh oh, I already filed my taxes.  I may need to file an amended return.  Hope I don't get audited. :whistle:

On the plus side even if it's not tax deductible to buy a SAK you'll receive positive interest here and that certainly won't be taxable.

On the other hand, tools and supplies used for work are indeed tax deductible...so, become a tradesman, or make a living whittling little Santa Clauses out of sticks and make a case for it.  But be prepared to be denied
