Smart Life Forum, Inc. (SLF) is a California nonprofit corporation organized under state law for educational and scientific purposes as a public benefit corporation. Our primary mission is to provide credible health education to the public with an emphasis on optimal wellness, anti-aging medicine, and longevity.
SLF is approved for tax-exempt status by the IRS under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and by the State of California under section 23701(d) of the California Revenue and Taxation Code. As such, donations to Smart Life Forum, Inc. are tax deductible to the extent allowed by federal and California state law.
Deductible portion of membership dues
SLF membership is deductible to the extent allowed by law. In figuring your deduction, you must subtract the value of the SLF Newsletter ($15). For example, if you paid $60 for your membership, the deductible portion would be $45.
Contributions - cash & noncash
SLF, a Public Benefit Corporation under California state law, is treated as a "public charity" under its 501(c)(3) federal tax exemption from the IRS. As such, both cash and noncash contributions to SLF are deductible to the extent allowed by law.
For charitable contributions of $250 or more, current IRS regulations require that the donor get a written statement from the charity listing any cash contribution or describing any donated property. There is no prescribed format for the written statement. Letters, postcards, and electronic (email) or computer-generated forms are acceptable.
The donor is responsible for the valuation of any donated property. However, the charity’s written statement must provide sufficient description to support the donor's contribution.
