Your clients’ religious faith moves them to send their kids to a religious private school, and they pay $15,000 per year per kid to do so. Of course now they’re sitting across the desk from you, their CPA, asking how much of that total they can deduct on Schedule A as a charitable contribution.
Important (???): By way of prefacing this loaded question, your clients inform you in no uncertain terms that they know “some Catholic people” who send their kids to Catholic school and “they don’t pay any tuition at all except for what they drop into the collection plate each week, and they deduct every penny of that on their tax returns every year, which we know for a fact because they had a couple of beers at a neighborhood block party and then started bragging about it!”
All of this duly and soberly considered, your advice to these clients?
Note: Assume, if relevant, that half of each school day is devoted to general studies, the other half to religious studies.
Assume you wrote up a proposal requesting $5000 for charity. The money would be used to buy food that volunteers (employees from the company) would distribute to the homeless on Saturday. The proposal is approved and you receive the money.
However, the CEO comes to you and asks, "What will be the return on the investment?" How would you reply?

- FAY (Financial Advice for You) was formed as a not-for-profit and non-governmental organization by Qamar Qureshi, a retired civil servant. In his words, common people who have scarce resources and save money through extreme hardships often lose all their saving primarily because of non-availability of good financial advice. Investment banks and other financial institutions are not interested in having such common persons as their clients; nor can these people afford to pay their exorbitant fees. Retired from civil service with no personal financial worries, Qamar Qureshi has devoted his remaining life to the cause of helping the less fortunate and less informed members of the society. His organization, Financial Advice for You or FAY, offers free financial advice to anyone who knocks at its doors. However, if a better off person with considerable means approaches them for financial advice, they charge a nominal fee in order to defray some of their administrative costs.
