To claim a donation as a deduction on your U.S. taxes, please keep your email donation receipt as your official record. The receipt they handed me just had "2 bags, clothes" listed on it.As the donor, apparently I am supposed to fill in the value. In this post, we'll outline the various tax forms your donors need and how Paybee can help your nonprofit issue such receipts. Every donation receipt should include the name of the donor, the name of the organization, the nature and amount of the donation, and the date of the donation.
