Tax Deductions
Besides supporting great radio, your donation to IPR can help lower your tax bill. Your entire gift is deductible as a charitable contribution on your federal tax return. For Michigan residents, those tax benefits are even greater: Gifts to public broadcasting (up to $200 for individuals and $400 if filing jointly) quality for a direct tax credit on your state income tax. Not a tax deduction, but a tax credit-50% of your donation goes right back towards your bottom line! Combined with the federal deduction, that means a $400 gift to IPR may cost less than $100!
