Can You Write Off Girl Scout Cookies?
Short answer: Only the part above the cookies' value, unless you buy boxes donated straight to the troop's gift program, which are fully deductible.
Itemizers deduct gifts to 501(c)(3) charities (from 2026, only the part above 0.5% of AGI); non-itemizers can deduct up to $1,000 ($2,000 joint) of cash gifts starting in 2026.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
