Non tax-deductible contributions reporting
Is there a way to record contributions that are made for non tax-deductible things?
For instance: The church bought a block of tickets for a concert and then sold them to members. Members sometimes included the payment in their tithe envelope--same check, split amounts. How do we record these so that they don't show up on the contributions report as tax deductible. So far we've been recording them as annonomous contributions, but then we can lose who has paid what.
Other times there are conferences, books, tapes, dinners, etc. It would be nice to have that show up somewhere with contributor designation, but not tax-deductible.
Or is there a way to give a value of non-tax deductible value received that I've sometimes seen on contribution statements I have personally received?

It seems like you could do one of two things. You could process those items you're selling in Accounts Receivable, but since it sounds like they're giving both in one check, you could create a non-tax contribution fund. I'd make sure it is in a number range that you can exclude from reports and statements if you like.

We do the same, except our split is at 500. We include all ministry fund raisers, trips and re-sale items.NeilZ wrote:We use the number range exclusion. All deductable contributions are betow 50, all non-deductable are above 50.
Works quite nicely. At statement time you just tell the system what areas you want to include, it does the rest.

We're going to be renumbering our contribution funds in January. The financial secretary is finally taking my advice on this so we have more leeway.jeffkoke wrote:We do the same, except our split is at 500.

Let her know that you can use base 16 for an even better effect!NeilZ wrote:We're going to be renumbering our contribution funds in January. The financial secretary is finally taking my advice on this so we have more leeway.
If I recall, you can mix alphas with the numbers in the chart of accounts. So, I'd expect that the same could be done in the contributions funds.
Zaphod can confirm or deny, if I'm not quite right.
