[Hidden-tech] web design for the Northampton Survival Center

[Daniel Fried]

Frankly, it's not necessary to rely on pure altruism either, when I've
worked little projects like this for non-profits in the past (I did
volunteer to help with this one off list), it's worked out well in other
ways too.   We've probably made more on projects that have come to us
because of work we've donated to non-profits than we would have made
charging for that work.  (we do sometimes charge for large jobs for
non-profits, but we offer greatly reduced rates).

 

Not that that's the reason we volunteer mind you. but it's not as if the IRS
and Karma are the only advantages.

It is nice to see someone is not looking for the IRS as the guiding star of
doing what is right.

 

There is a wealth of talent in this area that could and should help
organizations like the Northampton Survival Center.  We should be actively
looking for these kinds of opportunities to help. Perhaps this is a wakeup
call.  Considerations of the IRS aside, the NSC (Northampton Survival
Center) really does need to have its website upgraded.  The result will
create benefits to everyone.  If we were wise, this should be a
collaborative project bringing in the best of Hidden Tech.  The results cold
be astonishing.

An old former IRS agent told me that I could deduct 100% of any money earned
on a job I did for free for a not for profit. Another words, I didn't earn
anything, so I don't have to pay taxes on something I didn't earn. If I also
didn't pay anything out (like I would when I give money to charity) it's all
even. People should be donating their time because they believe in the
cause, not because they night get something back from Uncle Sam.

As unfair as this may seem, that's what a tax accountant told me. Then, a
tax lawyer said just the opposite. Go figure (sorry).
 
I think the not-deductible answer is correct, however.

If by 'donated is not tax deductable' you mean you can't write off what  you
don't receive, yes,
you can not write off as a loss what you would have  made for the same work
as fully billable time.
(I am not an accountant -  but etc etc etc on tv)...
