Are Donations to Sysnative Charitable Deductions under U.S. Tax Laws?

malletKATman · Feb 21, 2019

Hi. I'm a retired computer software architect, designer and developer who worked extensively in OS 360, Windows and Unix software design and development. I'm working a problem in the Windows Update forum now and just donated to Sysnative. However, nowhere in the donation process, not anywhere else I can find, is the issue of U.S. tax deductibility discussed. Anybody know if I can deduct this contribution on my 2019 Federal Income Tax filing next year?

Thanks.

Hello and welcome to Sysnative!

Unfortunately, I cannot answer your question, but @jcgriff2 might be able to. :)

First of all, THANK YOU very much for your donation to the forum. It is very much appreciated.

I would be inclined to say that you likely can deduct the contribution; however, please note that Sysnative Forums is not currently a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Also, we are not a for-profit C-corporation nor are we a C-corporation that has made a Subchapter S-corporation election, either.
