    You can't take a deduction for services donated.

     

    Keep in mind that you are already deducting the cost of any of your employee labor as wages, and the cost of any physical product as supplies or cost of goods sold.  

     

    You take the loss by still deducting all your normal expenses, but not your own time or labor.
