Human resources is an asset or liability?

The second word of "Human Resources" should give you a clue that is considered an asset. Companies that consider their employees to be an asset invest in those employees through training, education, benefits and other compensation and expect to get a return on that investment (ie production). Human Resources is the source of the human asset, the place where managers go when they need a qualified individual to do a job, or a training program developed. Conversely, if an employee is considered a liability to the company, they probably (and shouldn't) remain employed for very long.


What is the difference between deductions and contributions?

Are food contributions to a charitable organization tax-deductible?

Charitable contributions are deductible only if you itemize deductions on Form 1040, Schedule A. To be deductible, charitable contributions must be made to qualified organizations. Qualified organizations include, but are not limited to, Federal, state, and local governments and organizations organized and operated only for charitable, religious, educational, scientific, or literary purposes, or for the prevention of cruelty to children or animals. Organizations can tell you if they are qualified and if donations to them are deductible. If your contribution entitles you to merchandise, goods, or services, including admission to a charity ball, banquet, theatrical performance, or sporting event, you can deduct only the amount that exceeds the fair market value of the benefit received. For a contribution of $250 or more, you can claim a deduction only if you obtain a written acknowledgment from the qualified organization. You generally can deduct your cash contributions as well as the fair market value of any property you donate to qualified organizations. The fair market value of most household or personal items is generally much less than the price paid when new. You should claim only what the item would sell for at a garage sale, a flea market, or a second hand or thrift store. You must fill out Form 8283 Section A, if your total deduction for all noncash contributions is more than $500. If you make a contribution of noncash property worth more than $5,000, generally an appraisal must be done. In that case, you must also fill out Form 8283 Section B. Attach Form 8283 to your return.
