You donate to you own daughter (Upstate), and they collect extra taxes on income already taxed before !
There is an amount ( I forget the exact amount) that one can gift to a child (regardless of the child's age) that is not taxable to the recipient per year. However, if the parent gifting the $$$ files for medicaid within 5 years ( I think) that is still considered into the assets formula for qualifying for medicaid.Klein, there is a good reason for this. It prohibits the elderly from disposing of their assets and then receiving Medicaid.
In some states it is tax deductable for State and Federal level contributions. Not all.
Oregon is one.

Texan,
I know you strive to be accurate with your posts and I appreciate that --Oregon goes out of its way to not call any political contributions deductions --but rather a credit.
The difference is that with a credit --you are forced to Donate to a Politician or Pac--otherwise it it just included in your taxes.
That was a ploy for votes. He does that every state he goes to. Where would this 'colony' begin? Anything that has to go up would, potentially, be built in Florida. Panhandling. How much will we here about that 'colony' now?What did you expect É Over 50% of Florida`s homes are in foreclosure and Newt is talking about colonies on the moon !
