Let's say I donated $100 via Paypal to a non-profit 501(c)(3) like you mentioned in the video. Paypal kind of gave of me a receipt of my donation, can I use that as evidence of my donation when filling my return next year? Or do I need to email the charity itself for some documentation of my donation if for some reason I am audited.? Thanks. Great vid.
Sorry if this is a silly Q, or if you answered it and I didn't catch it-- so can you do non-cash donations that come out to $500 or less AS WELL as cash donations that come out to $250 or less, or would you have to combine both of those donations to not exceed one or the other? If that makes sense.
I want to send my kid to a Non Profit Sports program that provides Strength Training, Basketball skills development and Education Services for GPA and ACT/SAT scores so they can get a collage scholarship. Can I deduct the expense for this service also they charge well below what the value of the services really cost.
I'm afraid not, because you're receiving services in exchange for what you're paying. It's similar to paying school tuition to a non-profit private school.
