Large Donation To My Own Nonprofit

Asked onThursday, December 07, 2023 by Christopher

I run a very small nonprofit (less than $10,000/year for two years). I would like to donate $50,000 of my inheritance, which I received in 2023, to my nonprofit. When is the best time for me to do that (for a tax credit)? When is the best time for my nonprofit to receive it (to not disturb bookkeeping/avoid tax issues)?

1st I have birth of $5,000,000 that will show up on a 1099k from PayPal of that an estimation of $280,000 will be income. Is there a form to file (maybe opptional) that explains this to the irs so I don’t have to be audited or deal with correspondence. Because I’m a professional gambler so most of that money is my own money being cycled repetitively deposited into a site and then withdrawn out etc.
