Plea for help!

Anyone having any leads on charitable organizations in RI that will pick up heavy furniture, please let me know.

We are moving out at the end of the month, but taking almost nothing with us. I'd hate for the apartment complex to get it all, but I am not going to lug it down from the third floor.

Some really good stuff here.

I believe medical bills

have to be over 7.5% of your adjusted gross income, which is a pretty hefty chunk, and even then you can only deduct the portion that exceeds that. But mortgage interest and property taxes can make it worthwhile even for some with small mortgages. Plus with state income taxes, car registration, etc all deductible, charitable giving starts to make a difference in your taxes.

Naruki, you can buy TurboTax now and use it to estimate if itemizing would be advantageous, and sell or donate the items accordingly. And if you paid more than $4,850 in state income tax, itemizing might actually be worth considering ($4750 was last year, sorry!)
