I am the treasurer for our local boy scout troop have a dilemma to run by non-profit experts here.

An employer of one our parents donated $4k to the troop but had the check made payable to the local scout council. Councils are the regional district that governs the county's troops. Our troop has asked that the council now credit our account/ledger (we pay dues in annual per scout) for this donation. We are not asking for the money to be sent to our troop's bank, just credit our account so we pay less dues next year.

Although they have not stated what IRS reg prohibits this, they are stating that "IRS regs prohibit this per tax donation regulations."

Any help here would be greatly appreciated as $4k is half of our operating budget each year! BTW the council is short on funds so we are a bit suspicious. Thanks in advance.

You'll probably have to take this up with the donor. The donor needs to clearly communicate what they wanted the donation to be used for.
