They paid for the use of the table else they could not have displayed their wares. There's no gift there. John John H. Taylor Principal, John H.

One of our hospitals held a craft fair and sent us the checks from employees who paid for a table to display their items. Tax-deductible? They didn't really receive anything but they had to pay the fee to get the table.

Hi Heidi, This is not tax deductible because they had to pay a fee to get the table.  Enter as vendor fees or something similar.  This could be a learning opportunity for the rest of the hospital system - you may discover similar activities in other locations.
