Financial question

[annab]

Has anyone registered their homeschool as a non-profit? Do you know what the hassle would be if you purchased supplies and then donated those to your non-profit school for a tax write-off?

My masters is in non-profit management, and I cannot think of or find a reason not to do this. I just wonder if anyone else has done it.
