#TPFA @Kathy_Amidon, @FrankMDavisJr This is interesting, you should read the entire article -- Any and all donations should be reported to the IRS (Federal & State) as "INCOME!"
**If you "DONATE" because you "LOVE" the Benghazi-truth.blogspot, be aware the Blog is the incoherent ramblings of a vindictive ghost... The reason you don't see a "PayPal Donate Button to Keep This Blog Going" is because the Blog is FREE! You have to PAY like $9.95/mo in order to link to affiliates of your choosing & utilize the aforementioned "Donate Button!"
Online Donations
You've probably seen "donate" buttons on websites that let you contribute via PayPal to online writers you like. If you set up one of these for your own blog, be warned that saying "donate" doesn't automatically make the money a gift. The IRS could just as easily decide the donor is paying you to continue your excellent work. The "Tax Prof Blog" reports that tax attorneys disagree on how bloggers should handle this. Several attorneys recommend you report the donations as income to be on the safe side until the IRS rules differently.
