I am a nurse practitioner and performed 56 exam for a nonprofit agency for their pre-k children.  The total amount for these exams is over $8000.00 and the agency was not charged.  Where do I put this large dollar donation in my taxes.  I have a letter from the agency signed supporting this donation in kind. 

Sincerely,

Kathleen

    Sorry,   You cannot deduct anything for volunteering your time, skill or expertise.   If you incurred expenses like mileage or supplies, you can deduct that.

    IF I DONATE CASH TO A 501C3 ORGANIZATION, DO I NEED A 'DONATION LETTER'?

    Yes, you will need a letter if you gave more than $250 to the 501(c)(3) organization. The IRS requires public charities to provide a formal acknowledgment letter for any donation of more than $250.  You may use this letter as proof of your contribution in claiming the tax deduction.
