Deductions & credits

If you were paid, that is taxable income.  Did you get a 1099-MISC from the organization?  Did you report the income on your federal and state return?

 

If you made a donation, whether paid or unpaid, you are not allowed to claim a deduction for a charitable contribution for the value of your plasma, due to certain IRS rulings that I can explain if needed.  You also can't take a deduction for medical expenses.

 

Is the state asking about a deduction you claimed, or income you failed to report?
