<prompt> Human: Fiancé and I put down 5,000 to have our wedding at a museum. In speaking with them and all paperwork they gave us, they said wed get back 4033 of that 5k in our tax return since its considered a charitable donation. Is it really that easy?EDIT: Just to be clear, this 5k is a membership to the museum which allows a private event to be held there. Not sure it changes anything.  <response>: Even if it was a charitable donation which it isnt since youre paying for something, you wouldnt get back 80 of it even if you already itemize. If you already itemize, youd get back your tax bracket. If you dont, then it would be even less.
