Hey gang -
I am a print designer, but just receently I've been asked by a friend to design a website for this project he is doing. It'll be pretty lo-fi with 4-6 pages, links, and image mapping. The design, look and color will be from scratch. I'm looking to use this as a tax write off, so any ballpark figures would be most helpful!
Thanks!

Maybe I didn't make myself clear.
My friend isn't actually paying anything. It's a project that will be completely written off for tax purposes. Therefore, I figure the most money I could render the project the better, that way my friend gets a good proejct and I get adecent tax write off and feel better about the final product.
sorry if I didn't make myself clear...

$2000 for 1 months work...wink...wink...calculate what that would be hourly...
any design shop would charge at least $5k.

Yes thanks IRNlun6...
this project is for charity....
I figure that a website was at least a couple grand or so...
thanks again!!!

you can't write off services....
check with your CPA...I tried this....
- liquid0
you can only write off any expenses you incur while doing the work ..... such as hardware....or software... stock photos......
services are not deductible for charity or otherwise......

I think you are looking at about £200-£300 (depending on how much effort goes into it = how professional the end-product will be).
However, just as liquid said, I am not convinced it will work that way... The other way around, maybe. Paying for a service and claiming it back off tax. I'm not a professional though so best thing to do is to ask around...

shady......who me?

I thought you could write off discounts and such...or if they are a non-profit...

I tried something similar. I wanted to write off the $ from the one time I had a non-paying client.
You can't write off money that you didn't earn because you weren't taxed for it in the first place.
