Anonymous37 22 Posted February 16, 2012 I guess the topic title is self-explanatory: now that people are getting all of their information together for taxes, I'm curious to know if donations to Earwolf are tax-deductible? Share this post Link to post

SandyBlack 0 Posted February 29, 2012 Since Earwolf is an LLC, it is a company rather than a qualified charitable organization, probably not unless there is some insane tax loophole that been created recently. If anyone from Earwolf has a different answer, I'd be happy to be wrong about this - especially if it encourages more people to donate, but I don't think donations would be tax deductible. Â That said, wouldn't it be great knowing you helped out your favorite show? Share this post Link to post
jeffullrich 652 Posted February 29, 2012 Hi All - Unfortunately, donations are not tax-deductible. I just realized now that may not have been clear. I'm really sorry if that was the case. Â Basically we are a for-profit LLC and not a non-profit organization. So when you donate, it counts as revenue to us and we pay tax on it just the same as if you bought a shirt. Â We really appreciate all of your support and I hope this doesn't dissuade anyone from donating...without the donations we couldn't keep doing our shows. Â Happy tax season!!!!

ChaseRoper 64 Posted February 29, 2012 on a side note, I think you can donate money to off shore bank accounts totally tax free. Share this post Link to post

Â Hi Jeff, it honestly wasn't my intent to dissuade anyone from donating (like I did) -- I was just hoping that I could write it off. Â That said, wouldn't it be great knowing you helped out your favorite show? Â Oh, absolutely (although my donation wasn't directed at a particular show). 1 Share this post Link to post
