The portion of that which is non-deductible (market value) gets posted in the Non-deductible field. A third field, Tax Deductible Amount, is calculated from these, Amount minus Non-deductible Amount. > >Sobriety High has a banquet and a golf event each year and we charge for >both events but the amount charged is greater than the food they eat or the >golfing they play. currently I thank attenders by saying In the thank-you letter layout for this function you would use merge fields as shown below.
