No.
May I deduct gifts on my income tax return?
Making a gift or leaving your estate to your heirs does not ordinarily affect your federal income tax. You cannot deduct the value of gifts you make (other than gifts that are deductible charitable contributions).
To be deductible, charitable contributions must be made to qualified organizations. Payments to individuals are never deductible. See
Publication 526,
Charitable Contributions
. To determine if the organization that you have contributed to qualifies as a charitable organization for income tax deductions, review
Exempt Organizations Select Check on the IRS.gov website.
Answers are correct to the best of my ability but do not constitute legal or tax advice.
