I first usually do not take on work that i cannot use the purchases. I use those i cannot use as gifts or donations, but i don't claim them for taxes. Never return them or it would compromise your future work.

Just because something is not reported as income does not mean that it is not income.

I always keep in mind that I have to pay taxes also on all items I purchase and keep for free. You aren't allowed to return the item for any I shop. I keep a gift box where I put all items I get and try to gift them.
