Deductions & credits

The cost of the newspaper subscription would not be a charitable contribution unless the charity would have paid that expense for you and you declined to be reimbursed.  The cost of the postage and printing can be entered as a charitable contribution because you paid for the expense that would normally have been paid by the charity.  

 

Enter the cost of the postage and printing as a 'cash' donation to the charity.

 

You would only enter travel expenses related to your serving on the board if you actually made a trip to the town where the nonprofit is located.  Therefore, dates related to the travel must be entered.
