Shirley's Popcorn flavor of the month - Cinnamon Bun

Shirley's Gourmet Popcorn, Bluffton, flavor of the month is "Cinnamon Bun."

As Pete Suter, owner, puts it: "Our rich caramel is great by itself... but in January we coat it with smooth white chocolate and sprinkle it with a touch of cinnamon to create an incredible flavor."

"This is the perfect flavor to warm you up on a cold January day... Shirley's Cinnamon Bun popcorn tastes just like grandma's cinnamon rolls - right out of the oven," he said.

IRS offers tax tips for "The Season of Giving"

December is traditionally a month for giving generously to charities, friends and family. But it’s also a time that can have a major impact on the tax return you’ll file in the New Year.

Here are some “Season of Giving” tips from the IRS covering everything from charity donations to refund planning:

Contribute to Qualified Charities

If you plan to take an itemized charitable deduction on your 2012 tax return, your donation must go to a qualified charity by Dec. 31. Ask the charity about its tax-exempt status.

Written thanks and other basic rules for tax-deductible donations

Thanksgiving to New Year’s is a time for holiday generosity and tax-minimizing thrift.  Last year, about 25 percent of the Ohioans who filed federal individual tax returns claimed tax deductions for charitable donations, to the tune of $4.7 billion. 

Individuals have some basic rules to follow to claim the tax savings, but they’re not alone.  Charitable organizations benefiting from the generosity and thrift of Ohio ’s tax-savvy donors also have some basic rules to follow to ensure that their donors’ contributions qualify as tax-deductible. 

By following Internal Revenue Service rules and through mutual support, taxpayers and charitable organizations both benefit.
