Donating Digital Goods - Deductions I produce e-books and digital educational materials that I sell on various marketplaces. I donate some of those materials for various purposes as follows:
1) I donate some items when they are first released for promotion and advertising purposes.
2) I donate some to schools as charitable contributions.
My questions are:
Can I deduct my donations to promote my store as an advertising expense on Schedule C?
Can I deduct my donations to schools as a charitable contribution?
If so, do I just use a fair market value (what they sell for in my store) as the value amount in both cases?
Thank you very much in advance for any help.
Rick
