# How To Make cc.fees Tax Deductible (advanced)
IMPORTANT
The cc.fees
item needs to be created up front for this and is most easily done by creating a charge in the event, under Test mode, to generate this default system item.
# Create cc.fees
Item
By default, the Credit Card Fees (cc.fees
) item is set up as a For Sale Items type.
To generate the cc.fees
item you will need to enable the option under Credit Cards for Option to include credit card fees online from bidders in the Surcharge Settings Current Auction section.
With the Credit Card Settings configured, you will see something similar to the example below of the fees being optionally available for the bidder to pay.
Simply check the box to pay the fees and complete the transaction. The cc.fees
item will be created at this point.
You can also create the cc.fees
item from the administration pages using a Checkout transaction or a Record Purchases transaction with the above "Option to include credit card fees on admin pages" enabled.
REMINDER
Once the cc.fees
item has be created, in Test Mode, remember to switch back to Live Mode before the beginning of the event.
# Make cc.fees
Take Deductible
If you want cc.fees
to show as "tax deductible" on statements, you can open the Item Details page for the cc.fees
item and set its Taxable value field to -1
. In general, this will trigger a For Sale item to be fully tax deductible.
