Donations Tax Deductable?

Sun Apr 12, 2009 7:51 am

So what's the deal? Can I deduct my donations to the BN, I'm pretty sure I'm not getting any value for the money I'm handing over each month. And no doubt this group could be considered a "charity."

You make a good argument, but unfortunately, no, you'll end up Richard Hatch's cell mate if you try to claim the BN as a deduction. :unicornrainbow:

Technically you can, but the extra work that it would create for our brewcasting friends would not be worth it.

Calling these donations tax deductible will fly with the IRS almost as good as claiming your kegerator as a dependent.
