I work at a public university, where I also go to school. I get paid around $7/hour and I don’t get any deductions from my paycheck. When I filled out my tax forms after getting the job, my coordinator made me fill out only a state income tax form, not a federal tax form. I was wondering what the reason for that is and would I have to pay taxes on next year’s filing date?

My company has about 10 old computers that we want to get rid of, and we figured it’s better to donate them than to just throw them out – and our accountant says we can get a tax deduction from the donation.

We found a private business that said they can draft up a “donation receipt” for us for tax purposes, but they are not a certified charitable organization.

If we give our computers to them, would we still be able to get a tax deduction from the donation, just from the “donation receipt”?
I like to clarify that there are 10 (TEN in number) computers, not 10 YEAR old computers.
