Hi All:

I have a client that gives gift certificates (say, $50) away with respect to her business. The business is a dance studio. Essentially, the client is giving away services (all gift certificates are to qualified children's charities) and wants to obtain the charitable contribution deduction.

She has received documentation from the charities for receipt of the certificates.

I cannot recollect quickly the proper treatment of giving away services and whether this situation qualifies.

Any advice is much appreciated!
