Family Memberships as Tax Deductions

As the days get shorter and cooler, taking your kids outdoors might not always be an option. You may be in need of something to keep your kids active and entertained. Did you know that some or all of the costs of memberships to organizations that qualify as nonprofit 501(c)3 organizations such as the Chicago Botanic Gardens, Children's Museum, Shedd Aquarium, and Brookfield Zoo can be tax deductible.  Often times, the cost of a family membership can pay for itself in as few as two visits for a family of four.  

If you are looking for possible holiday gifts for loved ones, a membership can be a great present and provide yourself with an additional charitable deduction at the end of the year.  Further, grandparents can utilize their RMDs from IRA's with a Qualified Charitable Distribution

Just remember to keep your receipts for these expenses in a safe place so that you can reap the tax benefits when you file in the next calendar year.
