Yea I guess I was thinking something like this

1. I earned $100,000 revenue
2. You give me $20,000 donation
3. I make a $20,000 donation
4. I report on taxes I earned $100,000 and donated $20,000, so my taxable income is $80,000 because I wrote off a donation you gave me.

I would have to include the donation either in my earnings or report it some other way.
