Deductions

[Wljanes]

I own an S Corp LLC pass through.

Can I deduct my personal charitable contributions along with my business expenses?

Hello Wljanes,

Your personal charitable contributions would be deducted as itemized deductions on schedule A.

Your business charitable contributions would be deducted on your corporate return.

Some donations may be able to be written off as a business expense.

Cash payments to an organization, charitable or otherwise, may be deductible as business expenses if the payments are not charitable contributions or gifts and are directly related to your business. Likewise, if the payments are charitable contributions or gifts, you cannot deduct them as business expenses.

Thank you for that. Also:

I run a salon and we serve coffee to our clients. Can I write off the coffee and creamer etc?

Yes those are business expenses
