Question

Geez, I think I am stumped

I open up an envelope from a client this morning with a few documents and a sheet listing out what she paid for license plate tabs and a second item for donations.  Her note says:

"Donations - whatever max is without receipts"

I've checked pub 17, ProSeries tutorials, and Google.  Does anyone know what that max is?

For the record she brought in a 1099R, a SSA-1099, a 1098 plus that sheet of paper.  I'm guessing it took her this long to get her stuff in because she must have spent the last couple of months trying to figure out what that donation amount was and finally gave up 😬

I get that often.. whatever the max is, or I sometimes get, same as last year.

SALY is a very popular person during tax season.

yep.. first learned what SALY meant back in my Laventhol & Horwath days, right out of college.

Sounds kinda like "just take the standard amount."

Where is George and his "talking" ceiling tiles when you need him?

Isn't the amount written on your ceiling?  MY clients look up, scratch their heads and give me an amount to use.

@MICHAELMARS you should have told them to use Head and Shoulders shampoo.

There is no donation deduction without receipts. I would say her max is 0.00.
