MBK Delivers Supplies for Women and Children at the YWCA of Western Massachusetts

Mar 03, 2020

As tax season kicked into full swing, MBK was reminded of their commitment to community in Western Massachusetts. In the first community event for 2020, the staff at MBK collected supplies to benefit the YWCA of Western Massachusetts. Staff donated toiletries, underwear for women and children, new socks, baby wipes, baby bottles, laundry detergent, toothbrushes, soaps and money (which MBK used to purchase additional supplies).

On Monday, Chelsea Cox visited the YWCA in Springfield to deliver ten fully packed bags of supplies on behalf of the firm. At the drop-off, she was met by directors of the program who took the time to talk about the direct impact that these donations would have on the women and children they serve. Congratulations to the staff of MBK for a successful supply drive!

The YWCA offers many ways to get and stay involved. You can learn more about how to donate time, money and/or supplies by visiting their website. https://www.ywworks.org

The tax code allows an individual to claim a deduction for business debts that have become worthless. But qualifying for the deduction may be more complicated than one would think. In a recent case, the IRS denied more than $17 million in bad debt deductions on the grounds that the advances in question represented equity rather than debt, hitting the taxpayer with millions of dollars in taxes and penalties.
