You can qualify for taking the charitable donation deduction without a receipt; however, you should provide a bank record (like a bank statement, credit card statement, or canceled check) or a payroll deduction record to claim the tax deduction.

$300 maximum claims rule This rule states that if the total of your work-related expenses is $300 or less (not including car, travel, and overtime meal expenses, which can be claimed separately), you can claim the total amount as a tax deduction without receipts.
Technically, if you do not have these records, the IRS can disallow your deduction. Practically, IRS auditors may allow some reconstruction of these expenses if it seems reasonable.
In-kind donation receipt. The donor, not the nonprofit, must determine the monetary value of goods donated. In-kind donation receipts should include the donor's name, the description of the gift, and the date the gift was received.
Write in the total fair market value of your donation. This value is determined by you, the donor. Goodwill provides a donation value guide to help determine fair market value. Please note: Goodwill employees cannot help determine fair market value.

How should I recognize in-kind donations? Send the donor an acknowledgment that includes your tax ID number, a description of the goods and/or services they donated and the date you received them.
