<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Hello Oregon colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Just a friendly reminder that the State of Oregon allows taxpayers to donate $50-$100 to a political action group, cause, or candidate and then claim that as a credit on their 2015 taxes.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">That’s right, by donating to a campaign of your choice, you can reduce your 2015 taxes or increase your refund by $50-$100!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Learn more from the 2014 Oregon Publication 17½, <u>pages 105-106</u>:<o:p></o:p></p>

for 2015)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">BUT you only have through <b>midnight tonight (12/31/15)</b> to donate!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p> </o:p></p>
