I have to pay 14k in taxes. Is the following math checks out ....?
CSR -- Pay $4000 = 4000 points
BAPR Pay $10000= 26250 points
Total Points = 30250 points
Dollar Equivalent =$302 (As per TPG 1 point =1 cent)
Fees to Pay x/CC =14k x 1.87 = $262
Am I making a profit of $40 by paying with a credit card ? ( in the form of points)
