They are sending me a donation letter! Which I thought was strange because I wasn’t sure I donated anything. I’m just going to stick with my original returns and not amend. That was my gut instinct and you helped explain it very well to me. Thank you so much for your help.
Because you got a benefit that seems to be worth equal or more than the $2000 or $2500 you paid, I don't think it's an allowable deduction. But that's just my opinion. I don't know if they are bending the rules deliberately or from ignorance, or they have a tax lawyer who told them it was ok.
