Donations vs billable hours
[QUOTE=Usa2222;5956565]Somebody please explain to me the reason for the term "donations" and why it's a good idea. I see this for $500/ hr women and $100/ hr women. The same women who only want to say donations also say they only charge for their time. My attorney and CPA only charge for their time too, they don't call the money I pay them donations. They call it billable hours. If you charge a specific rate for your time, you have billable hours and that's what you get or you don't get the service. If you want a donation, which is always voluntary, then I get to decide how much that is just like I do for the Boys and Girls club. Not that any of it makes any difference in the end if Uncle gets involved, it won't matter what you called it. My 2 cents. Convince me donations makes sense.[/QUOTE]Although you make an excellent point here I believe donations you can write off your taxes as charitable contributions but billable hours you cannot.
