You can deduct gifts to a legitimate recognized charity and you can deduct gifts to a government agency. (You can even make tax deductible gifts to reduce the federal deficit.)

You cannot deduct gifts to a friend, family member, stranger you meet on the street, etc. Basically, if it's going to a specific person rather than a recognized and tax-exempt charity, it's not deductable (not only that, you might even owe additionaltaxes on the money you gave away, if you gave any one person more than $13,000).

However you may be able to get a deduction for housing a victim of certain designated disasters in your home.

Also, corporations are allowed to deduct the cost of gifts (up to $25 per recipient per year) given to clients.
