Question: is a new wood stove a tax deduction?

I live in Ohio and we have newly installed a wood stove in our home as a form of heating that uses a renewable energy source versus the propane furnace we were using…. Is the cost of the new stove a tax deduction federal and state?

Answer: It is not deductible for federal taxes. There are energy tax credits, but a wood stove is not one of them. I dobt that the state would have any tax preference item for a wood stove.

Question: What is the best way to raise money to start a non profit organization?

I’ve read a lot of the questions but haven’t seen this one here yet, at least not with the answer I am looking for. I know how to start a NPO and what all is involved, but I need money for things such as a lawyer and stuff to file the paperwork with the IRS and court, etc before it is a 501c3.

So, how do I raise enough money for it before it becomes tax deductible? I’ve tried going house to house but most people say no when they hear that I can’t give a tax receipt yet.

Answer: You have to find a sponsor or group of people who are interested in the subject area that your nonprofit will pursue.
And then convince them to invest in your project.

Or else get a second job and raise the money to pay it yourself.

That’s the way everyone does it.
