Taking a deduction for donations

[Mothernature]

this is what the irs calls an "easy" because most people do not keep receipts and overestimate what the donation value is. the irs thinks that they can audit people and turn that into a quick tax bill.

We were not an "easy". My husband is a CPA and the auditor knew this. The auditor referenced his PTIN.

This is what was so surprising and ballsy about the audit. CPA's w/PTIN's level the field and are not great audit candidates.

The government is desperate for money.
