Are tithes tax deductible?

Most churches will give you a statement at the end of the year showing your donations for tax purposes. It is always good to write a check for an additional record if you need it. It is practical to claim a tax deduction because it gives you more money to donate if you wish.

There are a lot of facts I would want to know to give you a definitive answer, but in general employee gifts that have significant value are taxable to employees in the same manner as wages.

I really feel sorry for you. You made $272,000 and you want to reduce your taxes by claiming the clothing you donated?? First of all, you must have a receipt for any donations over $25 or over a total of $250 for small donations. That still isn't going to reduce your taxes by much. And it's too late to do anything about last year's income, anyway. Here's what to do this year. Give a lot more money to charity... and get a receipt.

Tithing was originally used, among other reasons, to collect money to take care of the poor. \nNow taxes and charitable giving do most of that, so I think that if you pay taxes, you are already tithing more than 10%.\nIf you want to give to the church to, that is totally voluntary. \nGod certainly doesn't need money, and IMHO churches spend to much money on fancy buildings.

Church tithing is a scam. In Deut. 14:22-26 you will see that the tithe is food not money. Your preacher will say that they didn't have money back then, but read it closely, vs 25 says if its too far to travel sell your tithe for money and when you get to Gods place buy whatever food and strong drink(could this be alcoholic?) you want. Deut. 12:11-27 tells you that you can tithe at home and vs 17-18 tells that the tither always eats the tithe. The word tithe is used 40 times in the OT and only 8 in the NT but it is preached constantly. 2 Cor 16:1-3 collections were for the poor and to be on Sunday so that no money would be collected when Paul preached. Hmmm I guess that means he didnt preach on Sunday like the Pagan Romans did.Jacob was the first to tithe 10% of all that he has. Ask yourself what church did he give it to? In case anyone can't figure this out there were no churches.Tithing was a requirment of the law, why do churches only keep the parts of the law that will benefit them? If you keep the law then you must keep all the law. With that being the case why isn't your preacher slaughtering animals for sacrifce and checking their innards by hand for tumors? And if we follow the O.T. tithing we are allowed strong drink, think the preacher will mind if you come to church drunk? Just tell him you are partaking of your tithe. Always remember "You cannot serve God and Mammon".If your preacher tells people to tithe, which almost all do,then he is serving mammon(money).He is not a man of God and does not know Christ as Saviour for no man of God would ever ask for money for himself. Run from this church and never return. Find a non-tithing church.good luck with that one.(They are out there though, I lead a non-tithing church and Schneb attends one.) We are to live by faith, where is the preachers faith, he is a swindler and has no faith and is stealing yours from you. Everywhere ever mentioned tithing is food. Now offerings are something different. You are to offer money as God leads you to help others in need.

You have to check your state tax code.  There are some states who no longer let you take the blue book deduction when you donate a car.

I'm only answering because the first answerer couldn't be more wrong.\n\nGet tax software (like TaxCut) and do your taxes. It shows you everything that you can deduct. Alternatively you could go through IRS publications on the IRS website.

NO tax deduction for political donations.\n\nPotential "advantages" of donating:\n1) You may 'sway' the political process in the direction you favor.\n2) Your  voice 'is heard' in the political process.

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!

Assuming you're referring to deductions that can be claimed on an individual return (as opposed to a business return)...\n\nBelow is a list of helpful publications from the IRS.  These publications do include examples of items that are deductible, however keep in mind the IRS is great at telling you what you what is not deductible - in other words their advice is not "aggressive" when it comes to deductions.\n\nForm 1040, Schedule A (Itemized Deductions) -  http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040sab.pdf\n\nInstructions to Schedule A - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040sa.pdf\n\nAdditional Guidance on Deductions for Medical Expenses - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p502.pdf\n\nDeductions for Mortgage Interest - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p936.pdf\n\nDeductions for Investment Interest - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p550.pdf\n\nDeductions for Charitable Contributions - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p526.pdf\n\nDeductions for Casualty & Theft Losses - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p547.pdf\n\nDeductions for Job Expenses & Other Miscellaneous Deductions - Unreimbursed http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p529.pdf

No. The only thing that could happen is the income that you make will put you in a higher tax bracket. If you make enough money and don't need to work, but want something to do you can volunteer and the miles and expenses you have are deductible if you are on a schedule a. As long as you volunteer at a non profit org.(hospital, goodwill). Do which ever you want you will not get penalized just a higher tax bracket is all. Good luck to you
