HELP ST. MALACHI CENTER & SAVE TAXES! 
Between now & December 31, 2007, taxpayers over age 70 1/2 can avoid paying income tax on IRA distributions of up to $100,000 by donating them directly from tax-deferred IRAs to qualified charitable organizations (such as a church or other tax exempt organizations such as St. Malachi Center). What this could mean: if your required minimum distribution is $10,000 and you are in the 15% tax bracket, you could donate the $10,000 directly to St. Malachi Center and NOT pay $1,500 in federal income tax. Please note that amounts excluded from income under this provision cannot be taken into account in determining the charitable contribution deduction. Please consult your financial advisor for details.

FIFTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

July 15, 2007

PROPERTY TAX RELIEF FOR SENIOR CITIZENS AND THE DISABLED
The Ohio General Assembly has enacted a new, expanded Homestead Exemption that will provide additional property tax relief to qualified senior citizens and permanently and totally disabled Ohioans. The new exemption offers eligible homeowners, regardless of income, the opportunity to shield $25,000 of the market value of their home from property taxation. Seniors and disabled Ohioans who weren't previously eligible must apply with their local county auditor by Oct. 1, 2007 in order to take advantage of the Homestead Exemption, which will save the typical homeowner about $400 per year. The new Homestead Exemption is available to all homeowners 65 and older and all totally and permanently disabled homeowners. For additional information, contact your local county auditor or the Ohio Department of Taxation at (800) 282 1780 or http://tax.ohio.gov
