You are required to provide this information regardless of the amount of the donation. If you are making a noncash charitable donation you will be required to complete Form 8283: Noncash Charitable Donations and attach it to your tax return if your noncash donation is greater than $500.
Not only can you deduct the fair market value of what you give from your income taxes, you can also minimize capital gains tax of up to 20 percent.
However, you should be able to provide a bank record (bank statement, credit card statement, canceled check or a payroll deduction record) to claim the tax deduction. Written records, like check registers or personal notations, from the donor aren't enough proof. The records should show the: Organization's name.
