when claiming charitable deductions, is a check stub ok for proof?

unfortunately no you need the reciept to use it as a tak deduction for your charitable donations.  Also some places give you a copy of a form they fill out when you make donations.  Sorry!

If you are able to itemizes your deductions when filling your personal income tax any money withheld or paid in the year in question is deductible.

I recently went through a major effort to collect a Small Claims judgment in Colorado and did not find anything about doing a till tap.  I do know that if you know where their assets are (the name and account number at the bank), you can put a claim on those assets.  I heard one good way to get bank information (and this would seem to work especially well for businesses) would be to pay that person with a check for a small amount and then, when the check cleared, get their bank information from your cancelled check.\n\nGood luck to you.

Check stubs, W-2s, or signed letter from you former boss on letterhead if possible.  If you got paid under the table and got fired under poor circumstances.... then it will be difficult to prove.

Not knowing your situation, of course, but having had the same thing happen to me, I would guess that the IRS computers recalculated the amounts entered on the tax form which was submitted to them and found a math error somewhere which was in your favor.  \n\nWhen this happens, they usually send a letter which describes where the error was found, but the letter is not always helpful and may not arrive at the same time as the check.\n\nBest regards,\nP M Donovan

If the customers/clients operate as Charitable Organizations, then any person or company can donate to them.   But you can not not make a legally deductable donation to any 'for profit' companies or private individuals.\n\nAre you sure they are actually making 'charitable donations' that they write off as such to the IRS or is it just an expression they use for financial incentives?\n\nNot clear from your question exactly how you are involved in the situation -Do you get paid by the customers to make sure they get the 'donations' from your company, or does your company pay you to promise donations to the customer?  \n\nEither way, if it is not legal you are right in the middle of it.  It might be time to consider other career options.

No, you don't have to claim this as income, but you also cannot claim child care expenses as a deduction.  You have already gotten this money tax free so you can't deduct it again.

I worked for a place that direct deposited my checks.  They were required to give us all paystubs.  I know they were required to do so because they were so cheap they squeaked when they walked.  They would never have spent the extra money for stubs if they weren't required to do so.  But...check with a lawyer to be sure.  It might be different in your state, this was in Colorado.

If the marathon is to raise money for a recognized charity, it is deductible.  You can pay by check or ask for a receipt.

If you are using this for a business purpose and can justify that to the IRS, and your employer does not reimburse this expense, then yes, you may deduct it, subject to the 2% floor (2% of your adjusted gross income)for miscellaneous itemized deductions.

That would be "double dipping" and is frowned upon. You could, however, review what your refund would look like if you just took the federal deductions and didn't receive the mileage checks.

They should both be deductible. Both are 501 (c) 3 organizations.

Sure if you want to go to jail.  You do know that is illegal don't you?  You might can do it and get away with it, but at some point in time the books are going to come back to bite you IF they get audited by Uncle SAM.  Why take that risk?  It would show up sooner or later, and you would be in trouble.  I believe the term for this is racketeering and tax fraud.  You ought to realize any non profit organization is watched by the government very close, and you cannot work under someone Else's exemption.  If all donations were cash, then you could do it, but the minute someone donates a sizable check to your group, you are busted.  My question is this; why don't you just apply for the status by filling the proper papers?  That would be less complex, and it would be legal that way.  Good Luck!!!\nPart 2\nThe best thing to do, is talk to a CPA (certified Public Accountant) and I'm sure they would be able to help you out with the question as far as what you would need to do, and what forms you would need to file.  Since this is what they do, they would have the answer you need.  An alternative would be; contact your state tax office, and request the forms you need.  If you go to your states tax form web site, you will probably find the form or forms you need, and can print them right to your computer.  Unless you are considered a division of the company you want to operate under, and file taxes as a subsidary, don't expect to be able to do this legally.\nI hope this helps.  Good Luck!!!

Call 1-800-829-3676 and ask for publication #17. Look up Itemized deductions. You are entering into a 1040 situation, long form and will have to learn how to master Schedules A-E which allow you to deduct charitable expenses and business expense. Of course the more you make the harder it is to deduct charitible expenses. You make more money and chance to itemize gets harder as you have to spend more to surpass tax ceilings. Itemizing is not just a charitable section, you will have to do you business and casualty, and medical calculations as well. All of that will go against your standard deduction to see which deduction is greater itemized or standard. And if you are married and filing separately your spouse will have to do the same thing, so this may be more work tan it is worth and it may hurt eiter you or her. As for the business thing, it is possible to deduct the part of house used as an office if and only if you do business in person with customers out of that office and it is not against your deed restrictions to do business with customers in your house. Anything that is otherwise illegal is not tax deductible. Of course you will have to prorate your house expenses to calculate how much you can deduct, and once again it goes towards that itemized versus standardized question of which is greater. In the end you may find out that you wasted your time. Plus, the more forms you fill out the more likely you are to be audited. So, you may want to seek an expert. The IRS will answer your questions at 1-800-829-4477, if not immediately within a couple of days, especially if it is a complicated question. Good Luck, and remember the liability for your filing lies squarely on your shoulders unless you get a tax preparer to do it for you and they sign the forms accordingly. Computer tax programs may help but they are only as rliable as the information you feed into them

Don't worry about it.  Honest mistakes of less than $1 don't mean anything.  In fact, when you do your taxes, the IRS likes you to round everything to the nearest dollar.
