Can I deduct graphic design services donated to non profits in Washington State?

Answer 1

I'm not an accountant, nor do I live in Washington state, BUT, based on my experiences as a writer and marketing consultant in New York State, I'd say you probably can not get a tax deduction for graphic design services donated to a non profit.

I donated four hours of consulting time, which included providing a written report, to a local non-profit organization in my area. I did a critique of their website and provided recommendations on how to increase search engine traffic and the overall effectiveness of the website.

From a layman's point of view, it seemed like I was donating something of value that would be deductible on my taxes. However, when I asked my CPA, he said that, unfortunately, it was not deductible.

So my answer to your questions is "probably not, but check with a professional accountant in your state to make sure!"
