Tax receipts

So I'm pulling together my financial records to send to my accountant so he can prepare my tax return, and it just occurred to me that even though I made thousands of dollars in donations to dozens of providers last year, I didn't receive a tax receipt from a single one.  How am I going to take a deduction for them now?

to any items that you donate? That can get pretty high for some.

donations to individuals aren't deductible.

no goods or services can be received by the donor.

You go to a provider and ask for tax receipt. I am sure all of them will be happy to help you with this and you'll make lots of appointments. xo

LMFAO I doubt that will happen. The providers will lagh at the hobbyist. I would!! And I'd tell him to get his head checked.

and would always wonder, "What did they do with my donation?"

I no longer have to wonder where my donation goes because now I contribute to the many "Women Who Get Naked" charities.

In return, I receive much more than a piece of paper indicating the fact that I have "donated".
