FAQ
Charitable contributions or donations can help taxpayers to lower their taxable income via a tax deduction. To claim a tax-deductible donation, you must itemize on your taxes. The amount of charitable donations you can deduct may range from 20% to 60% of your AGI.
Is my contribution deductible? Contributions are deductible if the charity is tax-exempt under IRC section 501(c)(3), subject to certain limitations. The charity's exemption is listed on Line J of the 990 and 990EZ, and on line H of the 990PF.
Example 2: Individual Acknowledgment Letter Hi donor name, We're super grateful for your contribution of $250 to nonprofit's name on date received. As a thank you, we sent you a T-shirt with an estimated fair market value of $25 in exchange for your contribution.
Nonprofit or charitable organizations typically create donation invoices after they've processed incoming donations. These organizations then send the donation invoices back to their donors.
The accepted way to record in-kind donations is to set up a separate revenue account but the expense side of the transaction should be recorded in its functional expense account. For example, revenue would be recorded as Gifts In-Kind – Services, and the expense would be recorded as Professional Services.
The revenue should be reported in the period in which the donation is made and the expense when the donation is used. In the case of a capitalizable item, such as a building or construction equipment, the donation would be recorded as revenue and as an asset on the balance sheet, rather than under expenses.
The receipt can take a variety of written forms – letters, formal receipts, postcards, computer-generated forms, etc. It's important to remember that without a written acknowledgment, the donor cannot claim the tax deduction.
