Suggested Donation

I would like to start giving a weekly lecture for teenagers in my neighborhood. If I don't charge for it, but instead ask that anyone who is able to make a donation, can I consider this as a gift when I file taxes, or would I have to count it as income and pay taxes on it?

    The money received would be related directly to the service you provide so it would be considered income.
