FAQ
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.
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.
If you want to take a charitable contribution deduction on your income-tax return, you need to substantiate your gifts. You must have the charity's written acknowledgment for any charitable deduction of $250 or more. A canceled check is not enough to support your deduction.
A nonprofit CRM that allows you to record in-kind contributions helps to simplify the tracking process. With a CRM you're able to record the gift, its value, date received, and attribute it to a specific donor. You are also able to upload documentation that supports the value of the donation.
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.
In that case, all you need to provide in the donation receipt is the name and EIN of the organization, date of donation, and a description of the donated item. You should also add a note stating that the valuation of the item is the donor's income tax responsibility.
Yes. The IRS may not check every donation receipt, but it's best to operate as if it does. You want to be ready if the IRS decides to check your records. Incomplete records could mean disqualification of your tax-exempt status.
Substantiation. If you want to take a charitable contribution deduction on your income-tax return, you need to substantiate your gifts. You must have the charity's written acknowledgment for any charitable deduction of $250 or more. A canceled check is not enough to support your deduction.
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.
Legal requirements: The IRS requires donation receipts in certain situations. Failure to send a receipt can result in a penalty of $10 per contribution, up to $5,000 for each specific campaign.
