[MR] sca as tax deduction?

[Krista Bilger]

Hello all!  I was talking with my accountant about tax deductions.  Now I have a few questions that maybe somebody here can answer.   Before anybody decides to tell me to go to SCA.org and check the often asked questions link I did try that several times and couldn't access it.  
     Do any of you use the SCA as a tax deduction?  I have been told that the SCA is a non-profit teaching organization.  Is that true?  If that is true is there any way to get literature to support that?  (Just in case I ever get audited!)  
     If you make a donation how hard is it to get a letter stating that for the accountant?  Should the letter come from your Canton, Barony, Kingdom, Society?  If so what is the procedure for that?  My accountant also says that if I buy candles for the event, have a receipt and was not re-imbursed then that should be deductible too.  Anything over $250.00 a year.  
     Does anybody out there have any experience with this?  I'd sure like to hear from you if you do!
