However, for specific tax advice related to your situation, we recommend consulting with a tax professional.
Understanding the Details of Tax-Deductible Sponsorships
What Qualifies as a Tax-Deductible Sponsorship?
The IRS defines “Qualified Sponsorship Payments” as contributions made by a business or individual where the return benefit is limited to basic acknowledgment. This includes displaying your name, logo, or product lines in a non-promotional manner.
What is Not Considered a Qualified Sponsorship Payment?
If the sponsorship includes elements of advertising, such as promotional messages, endorsements, or direct inducements to purchase, sell, or use products or services, it may not qualify as a tax-deductible sponsorship payment.
