I am a Massage Therapist in the state of Missouri. I am interested in donating gifts to my patients, such as a free massages. Can I deduct these gifts as charitable contributions?


ANSWER


The BIDaWIZ Team's Answer:

The short answer is no, you cannot deduct the value of the services you provide for free to customers as that is considered similar to a trial for tax purposes. If it was benefiting a qualified 501(c) organization, then that's a different story.
