Then I stand corrected. David Love www.davidlovepianos.com -----Original Message----- From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of John Dorr Sent: Wednesday, March 18, 2009 10:03 AM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: [pianotech] Donating tunings and tax deductions David Love wrote: I routinely donate my services to a few charity events (auction type) around for fund raising purposes. I usually donate 2 or 3 to each event. It is very good advertising and, if nothing else, gets you some new customers plus helps out organizations in need. You cannot, however, get a tax deduction for that. At least not a legal one. David Love www.davidlovepianos.com I just called my accountant. She says that indeed I CAN make those deductions. It's called a donation "in kind", and you get a receipt from the organization (which I DO) and the organization must be recognized as a charitable organization. So I will be continuiing to take those deductions! Sometimes that kind of charity is about the only charity I can afford! John Dorr Helena, MT
