My husband works for the federal government, and some of his duties included giving IT equipment, furniture, etc away to qualified organizations. Which is great.
However, can he then claim the donations of property that was not his own on his own personal tax returns to lower his personal tax liability?
He says he can, but dont think that his employer gives him thousands of unreported non-cash income for this purpose... if his employer is indeed "giving" him the property to donate.
I do not want to get caught up in this.
