Tim's Tax Tip for 2011: White Style

Recently I received this email in my inbox:

Baby, we need to have another child by December 31, 2011   That's because you only get the child tax credit for kids who are 16 years old or younger at the END of the taxable year (e.g., for 2011 taxes, our children have to be 16 or younger as of December 31, 2011--which Karizma will NOT be).  We already got one less tax credit this year because Miguel is 17 (that's a $1,000 less of a refund we'll get).   So if we don't want to lose another $1,000 when we're doing our taxes this time next year, we need to get active and get you pregnant within the next 30-40 days (especially since you always go longer than 40 weeks, lol).  I'm only kidding, but if we do want another child now (which I do--Bella could use a sister around her age to be like you and Amanda), then we should be praying that it happens real soon :-)  I love you. XOXO So, per Mr. White, we need to get working on this.  And, this tax tip will not only help you with your deductions in 2011...but, will bless you for the rest of your life.  God says that children are His reward to us! I just had to share this with you all, with Tim's permission of course.  I don't know what God has in store for our family, but I do know that God loves the desire of my husband's heart to fill our home with even more children.  I will continue to trust His will over our lives and over my womb, and look forward to what he has in store for our 2011.  Be it another little White, a tax break, or both.
