14. I want my share!

We moved in December and I needed a few items here and there where old stuff was lacking. I considered tariffs and chose items that were in my price range, assuming the price reflected tariffs. Additionally, we had things sent to my daughter because she was in Santa Fe while we packed up a home we’d just sold.

Well, come January our daughter, as recipient, was sent a tariff bill from FedEx for $300+. Of course, we paid it. I told my husband as he was putting our tax info together that we should include the tariff bill as an income deduction as a tax we’ve paid. Sure, Jan. But I still think we should do it, citing the SC decision stating it’s a tax.
