The Idea of Write Off’s for A Cause LLC came to Colby right at the end of December 2022. He had the best financial year of his career at the time in the automotive business, and he had also sold a house that year that he had only lived in for a year and was looking at a pretty hefty capital gains tax bill. So, of course, he crunched the numbers and realized that he was going to owe thousands of dollars to the IRS when he went to file and had almost no write-offs to get that number down. It was New Year’s Eve, every charity he could think of was closed, and he didn’t want to risk sending in a donation just to end up getting a donation receipt after the new year with a 2023 date on it, and he ended up having to pay the IRS thousands instead of supporting good causes with that money. If only there was a way to quickly hop online, throw a few charity donations in an online shopping cart, check out and pay, and have a system automatically email tax-deductible donation receipts within minutes! And just like that, the idea for Write Off’s for A Cause was beginning to form.
