Now I wonder if that was right?
I think you misunderstood my post. Yes, gifts you give in excess of $12K or $24K(MFJ) per donee are taxable to the donor. The donee (recipient) is never taxed on a gift. These rules do not apply to non-profit organizations.

WTF??? A gift, given by a donor, in excess of $12,000 is TAXABLE to said donor??? Are you really that incompetent?
Boy will the IRS be surprised, as well as the entire philanthropy profession and a whole lot of savvy donors.

A gift to a legitimate 501 (C) 3 is a tax deductible gift, under most circumstances, and is NOT taxable as revenue as it leaves the donors hands. It was already taxed as income, and is now a charitable DEDUCTION to the donor.
The charity does not pay income tax on charitable revenue.

Btw...Nobody uses the term "donee."

Your clients have an idiot for an accountant.

What this site needs is a TEX deduction.

I can't believe that he posted that crap, and that anybody believed him. My God.

Hey Fudge Packer, nice to see you back. Thats about the kind of post I'd expect from you. If you look at my previous post you'll see that the post was directed towards a question that was asked about a gift to his kids. Not a charitable organization. I think your girlfriend Chris Sunkin would even back me up on this. Run along now.........

That is funny, telling me to run along.
One day you will get it. But you are so far outside of the loop of what is going on in the world of serious offshore.
