Will the new tax bill impact donations to Clemson athletics?


Dec 25, 2017, 11:48 PM

The new Tax Bill will eliminate the ability to write off up to 80% of donations to the College Athletic departments.

With this in mind, will this change your donation to the university in the future, if you make substantial donations already?

Unfortunately, it very well could. I'm paying mainly to maintain a decent parking location. I could give much less, keep my seats, and use the spare money to buy parking passes and tailgate supplies.

standard deduction will reduce the impact. I guess it depends on what percentage of total donations are major donations, vs the percentage that is in amounts that would stay under the new standard deduction. In any case, I would think all programs would be affected more or less equally.

I will be under the new standard deduction, so will not affect me. Or maybe I am misunderstanding the entire thing, not a first by any means.

I’m assuming no more matching company donations either.(?). Would be interesting to know how much $$ this accounts for currently.

Regardless, with the current demand I doubt the effect is too high.

Yeah this is going to be the biggest change. I can’t imagine many companies will continue the match if it isn’t tax deductible.

Based on my understanding (and hopefully I am wrong), I will reduce my contribution to IPTAY since it won’t be deductible. Also my employers matching contribution will most likely be affected. Thanks Trump.

So you are donating from a position of hating to pay taxes and not out of your love for Clemson? Now that you will have to pay less taxes, you will give less Clemson? Liberal logic.

This is just the start of changes to federal spending and taxes. You can’t keep adding trillions of dollars of debt like we have over the decades. We all are going to have to give up something in the future to get this under control. You can blame this on the Dems and GOP both, not Trump. He’s just trying to stop the bleeding.

Going back and pointing the finger at Obama is NOT a forgivable excuse for the present.

Actually, ALL people should be upset with a 2 party system, that neither side can balance a budget sheet to save their life.

As long as they get bills passed that keep their fat-cat lobbyist happy, that's the only progress we'll continue to see.

When the American people rise and up and fight the injustice from both sides is when work will actually get done, FOR the people.....and not big business & special interest groups.

Dec 26, 2017, 7:27 AM

They're expecting to lose millions every year, and the first thing to go will be Olympic sports. Expect other nonprofits and charities to lose millions as well, especially at the end of the year when last-minute large donations are common.

Dec 26, 2017, 7:41 AM

(which is a deductible charitable contribution) and tie that to my IPTAY account where I would get credit for the contributions made by my fund to obtain my preferential treatment for my seats. I would be paying the same thing each year, still get my seats and take the deduction.

But that is just me. I am sure other people will come up with other ways to follow the rules to the best of their abilities and pay their fair share of taxes.

The new tax bill


Dec 26, 2017, 7:31 AM

Disallows contributions for athletic seating. There are ways to have contributions made into an organization that is not specific to seat allocation privilege, but obtain credit towards overall IPTAY contributions that garner preferential treatment when allocating season tickets and passes.

The standard deduction is not going to have any impact on any persons' decision regarding making a charitable deduction anywhere much less to an organization to garner preferential seating.

I know some folks whose Iptay donation and tickets are used strictly for business. One of them used to set up a huge tailgate out in front of Littlejohn, host the tailgate, have a handful of tickets in his shirt pocket, and after the game started he would pack up and go home. Why would not all of his be a business expense? You would need to document the people you gave the tickets and were at the tailgate!

Dec 26, 2017, 1:52 PM

businesses which also got chopped up. So....entertainment expenses are no longer allowed for businesses, 100% deductible meals for the employers benefit is gone.

That whole expense would be considered an "entertainment expense" under code section 274. He would not be allowed any of that deduction.

He may consider it "advertising/marketing," but it would be scrutinized under audit.
