You're trying to say my dad does this to get a tax wright-off.............. I don't know whether to be ****ed or just to laugh at you. What kind of write-off does he get for volunteering at places like Redwood (a school for the mentally and physically disabled), or for helping my friend's dad open a tanning salon when he went bankrupt?

I don't know about donations to charities, he might write some of it off, but there's limits to how much you can write-off, I took tax classes, I'm positive on that. So, that's obviously not why he does it

Please tell me.

No, I'm not saying he does it just for a write off. But I am saying it is one of the reasons. I write things off on my taxes every chance I get. And for what write offs he could receive, you would be surprised. It is just good business. I meant no disrespect to you or your dad, But if you think your dad does not write it off, then you are being naive. And when he helped your friend's dad open that tanning salon, he could write that off as being as business investment and not have to pay taxes on that investment. Again, I'm sure your dad is a great man, I have no doubt. But he is a business man. To still answer the question of should he get a tax break, NO, he should not.
