FAQ
Whether for charitable reasons or tax avoidance reasons, taxpayers frequently utilize the charitable contributions deduction when itemizing their returns to reduce their tax liability. However, this deduction is subject to IRS policies and may be subject to audit.
Proof can be provided in the form of an official receipt or invoice from the receiving qualified charitable organization, but it can also be provided via credit card statements or other financial records detailing the donation.
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.
You can take a deduction for a contribution of an item of clothing or a household item that isn't in good used condition or better if you deduct more than $500 for it and include a qualified appraisal of it with your return.
Craft a concise, direct donation message by clearly stating your cause, the impact of donations, and specific calls-to-action with emotional language. For example: "Your $25 gift provides a week of meals for a family in need. Text FEED to 55555 to More Meals today!"
Include a statement that no goods or services were provided by the organization in exchange for the contribution, if that was the case. If any goods or services were provided by the organization in exchange for the contribution, include a description and good faith estimate of the value of those goods or services.
No goods or services were provided in exchange for your contribution." "Thank you for your contribution of a used sofa and matching chairs that (Organization) received on March 15, 2014. No goods or services were provided in exchange for your contribution."
What do you need to include in your donation acknowledgment letter? The donor's name. The full legal name of your organization. A declaration of your organization's tax-exempt status. Your organization's employer identification number. The date the gift was received. A description of the gift and the amount received.
Liability disclaimers prevent misunderstandings and protect against legal consequences of individual opinions or incorrect information. Example text: “The views expressed in this email are those of the author and not those of Company. No liability is accepted for any damage caused by the information in this email.”
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.
