Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you are a sole proprietor and you make a donation, of unused inventory, to a charity you cannot deduct this contribution on Schedule C. It is not a business expense the deduction is listed as an itemized deduction on Schedule A of your tax return.  

 

The only entity able to deduct a cash charitable contribution as a business expense is a C Corporation.
