I have a client who is a professional opera singer. The theater she performs at held a benefit. Her services were auctioned off so that she was obligated to perform at a subsequent event hosted by the winning bidder. Because she received a receipt (actually a "thank you") from the theater, she gave it to me, hoping she could take a charitable contribution on her 2007 income tax return. I told her there was no deduction for her services. Now, I am second-guessing myself. Any help would be appreciated. -- Donna Donna L.
