Hi Folks, I'm a retired tax accountant and wanabee hacker who follows pauldotcom.comfor what I can get out of it plus the entertainment value. My take on the taxable deductibility of donations to Johnny Long's HFC is when in doubt always deduct if you legitimately gave. HFC.org could be exempt under an affiliated group. I once represented a client who applied for and received 6 years retroactive 501(c)(3) status for a youth sports league. For those who are tax-geeky and curious the IRS has published a few publications in .pdf on the subject. at http://www.irs.gov/app/picklist/list/publicationsNoticesPdf.html . The relevant pub numbers are 557, 598, 4220, 4221-PC.
