Yes..in a way! Please read forth! It's like "uncle David" giving a birthday present to nephew John; or my birth-mother in Texas who sends us a check for Christmas...who I barely know!. Unless you all really need the write-off, just do it as a "present" ... forget the write off or other tax implications!!!!!. Do you ask the Salvation Army for a receipt at the Target store enterance at Christmas-time for the .50 you throw in the bucket; or a quarter in a poor man's bucket on the street... the feeble old lady next door, who can't take her garbage to the street, as you help by just doing it?:, figuring your time invested? This man is in need, big time! Stop!... and be just be human beings and care for someone,... not what you might be able to get out of it.( I know that's far from your intentions, to be sure!!!!!....the tax thing is just bugging me)) Just write the check and feel good about what you all are doing, which I whole-heartily applaud!!. Quit being so self-centered" (all of us) and just hand the man some dough. I will, and WILL NOT claim it, not one dollar, on any form. It's just the right thing to do for a fallen comrad. I will not claim it as a tax thing. It's from my heart.....I hope you all do the same. All the Best to John (and all of you) God-speed for a speedy recovery, John!
