edit: you should also know that you should just donate directly to the charity, but I thought that was common knowledge

Apparently the idea that it gives corporations a tax break is a misconception, rather, YOU get the tax break! edit: yes you have to have receipts, thought that was common knowledge and didn’t think i needed a disclaimer

Thanks to @TheRealKuni@piefed.social, @iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works, and @Zorcron@piefed.zip for that info!

Yeah no gotcha, I’ve known it to work similarly. Also, didn’t mean it as an attack on you per se (unless you wrote the headline I guess).

The situation seems to me to be that companies obviously assume (I’d guess rightly) that a huge majority of people don’t keep these itemised receipts in order to claim the tax from these minuscule transactions themselves, thus enabling the company to get the tax break.
