You just  have to fill in your name, etc. Americans for the Arts urges the U.S. House and Senate to enact  legislation that would allow artists to take a tax deduction for the fair market value of works that they create and subsequently donate to arts organizations. Under current law, artists can deduct only the cost of the materials used to create the works, whereas non-artists can deduct the works full value. Thanks!! Federal: Artist Deduction Bills Introduced in Congress Urge Your Members of Congress to Support S. 1780/H.R. 1120 Feel free to forward to as many artists and others as you can.
