Is the item I won tax deductible?

If you won an item and you paid more than its retail value, you may be entitled to a tax deduction for the amount you overpaid because the difference might be considered a donation in some states.

The Tax Deductible Service Gratuity Donation paid in addition to your winning bid is processed and paid back to the nonprofit Seller as a donation. So the amount paid over your winning bid MAY BE tax deductible, depending on the exemption status of the seller.
