Looks Like No Charitable Deduction For Gifts To Steak And You Know Day

The serious part of the site is what is causing me to issue the emergency tax caution.  There is a charitable component to this.  If you send in a donation they will send an invitation to your partner.  Guys, think real hard before you do that.  They will keep 20% and 80% will go to a charity that is dedicated to raising breast cancer awareness.  That of course sends my BS detector into high gear.

You will probably not be shocked to find out that Steak and ______ Day does not show up on guidestar.org.  Digging a little further in the site you will find that the donation actually goes to, forgive me, I am not making this up, an organization called Coppafeel.  It turns out that Coppafeel actually is a legitimate charitable organization.

Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging one’s affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
