Deductions and Rebates

Hello --
Hypothetically, let's say that I purchase a computer for $500, then the next month the store gives me $450 in store credit (to only be used at their store) for purchasing that computer.
The computer was purchased so it could be donated to a 501(c)3 non-profit.
Since I have a receipt showing $500 paid, am I able to legally claim this as a $500 donation?
I have tried researching this, and have not been able to come up with any solid answer. Please point me to any information that pertains to this situation.
Thanks!

So unless you do this, you may claim the wholeof $500 on your SCh A of 1040 on your return.
I have tried researching this, and have not been able to come up with any solid answer. Please point me to any information that pertains to this situation.========.>as mentioned previously. So as said it is up to you/ the store if either of you tells the credit to the IRS.
