The following contributions made by Opal is not deductible:

  • Tuition she paid as a scholarship for her hairdresser's child to attend band camp.
  • Cash given to her local Girl Scouts group collected to support the local children's science museum.

Step-by-step explanation:

Their are terms of deductions which allow people to itemize deductions, which are as follows:

  • In order to claim this itemized deduction one must donate to a qualified charity. If someone give someone else or anything else, it doesn't count for one's magnanimity.
  • If one donate to a qualified organization property other than cash, one can generally deduct the property's fair market value.
  • The charity to which one give must be categorized as 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization or fall within Internal Revenue Code Section 170(c).
