Why Big Box Stores struggled to make a buck. This year has been tough for traditional retailers. More than sixhundred companies filed for bankruptcy in 2017 including toys rus. Payless shoes and the limited. Natasha chen explains the state of retail after holiday sales. Five billion pounds of returned gifts ive already got enough of this. Or, its too small. Are about to end up in a landfill. Thats according to optoro, a tech company that helps retailers manage their returns. And that trash heap for the unwanted may be a metaphor for the Retail Industry itself. Mark cohen professor, Columbia Business School well this is the current retail apocalypse. With store closing announcements tripling in 2017 to about seven thousand. But some companies have managed to survive. Mark cohen professor, Columbia Business School many of the legacy retailers, the dept stores for example, who have created their own websites, now find their core customer has migrated over to their websiteand the ceo of the International Council of Shopping Centers says occupancy rates at malls around the country remain at about 93 percent. But even when youre at the mall you have the power to comparison shop by checking the price of the same item online. That gives retailers very limited pricing power.

And that means that californians will not be able to deduct their property taxes for 2018. Now people all across the state are rushing to tax offices to take advantage of the expiring tax break. Mike leury has the story. The line was literally out the door at the Sacramento County tax office with dozens of people trying to take advantage of a tax break that is expiring including stephanie christiansen. Stephanie was eager to prepay her property taxes before the rules change on january first. I know we are going to get it in this year and we can write it off but were not sure about next year. Stephanie is not the only one trying to beat the deadline. Im getting a writeoff on taxes. Under the new tax law signed by President Trump many homeowners will no longer be able to claim their local property taxes as a deduction starting in 2018. Hence the push to prepay by december 31st and claim the taxes in 2017. If you are in a 25 tax category and you deduct 10,000 in real estate taxes, thats going to ave your 2500 on taxes. But prepaying property taxes is not right for everyone especially if your itemized deductions are less than the knew standard deductions of 24000 for married couples. No reason to accelerate and take the cash flow out now, if its not going to help you. Check with your Financial Advisor or tax preparer to see whats best for you. But these folks are determined to prepay in person. We dont recommend people pay by mail, we cant guarantee that even though something is post marked before december 31st, that the check can be processed before that. Thats why wendy rogers is braving the line. Looking forward to calling my cpa now and getting my taxes scheduled, getting them paid. Its money in the bank for tax payers like clarence walker.
