Question:
Omar is a huge college football fan. In the past, he has always bought football tickets on the street from ticket scalpers. This year, he decided to join the university’s ticket program, which requires a $2,000 contribution to the university for the “right” to purchase tickets. Omar will then pay $400 per season ticket. Omar understands that the price paid for the season tickets is not tax deductible as a charitable contribution. However, contributions to a university are typically tax deductible.
a) Use an available tax service to determine how much, if any, of Omar’s $2,000 contribution for the right to purchase tickets is tax deductible.
b) Write a letter to Omar communicating the results of your research.
