Riverside Education Centers is a tax exempt 501(c)3 and all contributions are tax deductible.

Preguntas frecuentes

¿Es este impuesto sobre donaciones deducible? Riverside Education Centers es una organización sin fines de lucro 501(c)3. RUT 20-5451495. Hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2024, todas las donaciones monetarias a REC son elegibles para un crédito fiscal estatal de Colorado del 29 %. Este es un crédito no reembolsable que puede transferirse por hasta cinco años y aplicarse a cualquier obligación tributaria estatal que pueda tener durante este período. Las donaciones que califiquen recibirán un formulario DR-1317 de REC. Conserve el formulario y entrégueselo a su preparador de impuestos cuando complete su declaración anual de impuestos. Tenga en cuenta que debe consultar a su propio asesor fiscal para determinar los beneficios fiscales específicos, incluidas las deducciones y los créditos fiscales que su donación puede proporcionar.

Why is there a processing fee? Credit card processors take a cut of each transaction. The processing fee is 2.9% + .30 cents per transaction. You have the option to cover these fees so 100% of your gift can go to REC. If you don't want to cover the fees you can click on the edit button next to fees and uncheck 'I want to cover fees.'
