A donation acknowledgment letter (sometimes called a donation receipt or thank-you letter) is an email or paper that recognizes a charitable contribution. At a bare minimum, it's a confirmation receipt to your donors acknowledging you've received their donation.
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.
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.
Typically, they are only necessary for people who make donations of $250 or more. 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.
