Direct donation to squidoo is a similar thing (not the same) to my <a href="http://www.metroseo.com/2008/01/21/blogging-in-other-sites-ronald-mcdonald/" rel="nofollow">Mc Donald's example</a>. People should have their own choices on how to donate stuff and where. No, what I meant was you receive the check from Squidoo as earned income than donate it to whomever you want with receipt.

The aforementioned is directly from a tax attorney that was a former deputy commissioner with the IRS.

Your post points out the necessity of presenting different views of our communities. It is making think of what I can do to enhance what I am currently doing. Truly surprised you did not get more comments on this post. BTW all my squidoo pages' revenues go to charities - I don't think the revenues qualify as a charitable deduction. Need to ask my tax adviser about this one. Hi Mert – I am real estate agent and stick with just real estate related topics.

He gives it strictly from charity. Most of his squidoo pages have nothing to do with real estate. I donot usually promote people whom I donot believe of their sincerety. I know Joe very well.

Are they giving to charity out of goodwill or as a marketing plan and tax write off? I apologize I'm just in a grumpy mood today and can see the negative in everything:-) While I agree I also disagree.
