We all know what a charitable gift is — or at least we think we do.  But the rules on giving and deducting are actually pretty complicated.  This webinar will provide a comprehensive review of the many rules and special situations that affect charitable giving and the deductibility of donor gifts.

What is a “gift”?  What is a “charitable” gift?  To whom may a charitable gift be deductible? How much is deductible?  What may the donor receive in return?  How does the recipient have to use the gift?  When is a charitable gift actually completed?  How is it valued?  What type of substantiation has to be obtained?  What type of paperwork has to be filed, and by whom?  What are the limits on deductibility?  How do these rules apply to special situations?

Price: $44.50

That's 50% off its regular price of $89.

Offer expires October 31st. New subscribers can also start a FREE three-month trial subscription (an additional $17.95 value).
