  • 1.  Quid Pro Quo - 2023 threshold for substantial and/or token benefits?

    Posted 01-29-2024 02:20 PM

    I have a difficult time searching the irs.gov site for the annual update to the quid pro quo threshold for substantial benefits, especially for token items. Does anyone have that information readily available or can post the link to the information for the fall 2022 update?

    Thank you - Vicki Britten

    I sent this information to the list in November - you can always find it there! My note is copied below, and the IRS document is reattached:

    Please see pages 14 and 20 of the attached.

    The standard deduction for 2024 will be:

    The insubstantial benefit limits for 2024 are:
    • $13.20 for low-cost/token benefits
    • $66 minimum gift to receive a low-cost item
    • The maximum benefit that can be provided without reducing the gift is $132 or 2% of the amount given, whichever is less

    Thank you John, I obviously need to practice searching AASP archives also! :-)

    Nah - it's often easier to just send me an email ;-)

    I got a lot from the webinar yesterday. One question I didn't get to ask: Do these rules apply to gifts to a 501(c)4 organization, where gifts are not tax deductible?

    No - at least not as far as receipting is concerned.

    As you point out, while 501c4s are tax-exempt organizations, these 501c43 social welfare groups are not eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions.

    Of course, members and constituents can contribute to you and your programs. And you can provide them with whatever benefits you want (although there might be some restrictions on what you can give - check with Counsel). But you can never imply that any portion of their payment is deductible.

    There are other significant differences between c3s and c4s, including that a c4 can endorse political candidates.

    Anyway, the QPQ rules apply to charitable donations - not non-gifts. Although, I think that contributors to a c4 would want to know how much of their payment will go to your causes.
