However, this is perfectly legal if you *billed* for your work, were *paid*, and then "voluntarily" cut a check to the charity making an actual cash *donation*. As long as they are bona-fide separate, independent transactions, you can claim the deduction. You can arrange to only "donate" a portion of your time/money this way.
