I am new to this listserve so forgive me if this is a question that has already been asked and answered. As we enter our banquet season, I am struggling with trying to figure out how to enter dinner, raffle ticket, and auction item purchases between contribution and events/purchases. I want to keep things simple and I don't want to lose track of contributions by entering it all in the events/purchases category. But for example, most of the dinner ticket does actually go to the value of the meal. I think they put $10 towards the total that is tax-deductible. On the auction item issue, some people buy many items and I'm thinking it's going to be time intensive to try and figure out how much of each item they bought was tax-deductible. What are others doing in this situation? Thanks for the help.
