Ed Note: The following question & answer, which appeared in a prior issue, should have read 2014 not 2013.
Q: How do I appropriately deduct my 2014 Penn's Way contribution from my taxes?
A: Penn's Way 2014 contributions made via payroll deduction will occur in 2014 and should, therefore, be considered deductions for your 2014 taxes. Please consult your accountant or tax advisor regarding contributions made via cash, check or credit card.
Q: What credit cards are accepted using the online pledge form and what are the associated processing fees?
A: We accept VISA, MasterCard and Discover using the online pledge form. Unfortunately, due to high processing fees and poor reporting capabilities, we do not accept American Express. Penn covers all processing fees associated with credit card contributions in order to maximize your contribution.
Q: What do I need in order to contribute and/or participate online?
A: You will need your PennKey and password to login to our online system. Once logged in, you will be prompted for the organization code(s) to direct your gift, or asked to provide a keyword to search for relevant organizations.
Q: What is my PennKey and how do I reset it?
A: Your PennKey is a unique username assigned to you as an employee. You use it to login to various University and Health System information systems (e.g. KnowledgeLink). University employees needing assistance with their PennKey should visit www.upenn.edu/computing/pennkey Health System employees needing assistance with their PennKey should visit www.uphs.upenn.edu/pennkey
Q: How do I know what organization code(s) to enter?
A: You can find your organization’s five-digit code in our printed materials or in our online searchable database. Simply enter the five-digit code in the appropriate field or select it from the online search results and it will automatically populate in the appropriate field.
Please note: If you enter duplicate organization codes with different (or the same) contribution amounts, the online form will combine the amounts into a single contribution for that organization and display the results accordingly on both the contribution and confirmation pages. If you fail to enter a contribution amount for an organization, you will receive an error message.
Q: Why isn’t the keyword search working on the online pledge form?
A: You must enter only a single keyword to search our online database. Entering multiple words as search criteria will not return any results. |
