Today is the deadline for mailing tax forms like 1098s, 1099s and W-2s to their respective recipients.  With that in mind, let's take a quick look at a couple of potential deductions available to DVC members.

DVC has announced that the current promotional offers will end on February 18, 2008.  Additionally, they have also lowered the purchase threshold which permits new members to obtain some bonus points!

The 2008 Annual Dues charges have been posted to DVCMember.com.  To view, click on "My Membership" then "Annual Dues."  The full 2008 balance due should be listed. 

Those who have signed up for the monthly direct debit service should be charged roughly 1/12th of this amount each month.  Note that if 2007 property taxes were underestimated, that balance will be charged in January along with 1/12th of the '08 dues.  A paper statement with exact debit amounts should be on its way to members now.

The 2008 Annual Dues Statements have begun to hit members' mailboxes.  "JimC" from the DISBoards checked-in with the first reports.
