How To Make cc.fees Tax Deductible (advanced) (new)

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.
