According to the organization, Girl Scout cookies aren’t tax deductible if you are purchasing them for yourself to eat. In that case, the cookies have been bought at fair market value, so there’s nothing that can be written off.
Keeping this in consideration, do Girl Scout cookies count as donation?
The Girl Scouts of the USA is an Internal Revenue Service registered 501(c)(3) group, so donations you make to the group are tax deductible. But when you’re buying cookies for your own personal consumption from your neighborhood Girl Scouts, you are not making a donation.
Moreover, how much of the Boy Scout popcorn sale is tax deductible by the customer?
This means that the purchase should be 100% tax deductible. Again, in most cases, you only need your purchase receipt from trails-end.com to be able to deduct your donation. However, if you require additional documentation, 75% of the purchase goes to local kids and they would need to provide additional receipts.
