Ing to the IRS, any kind of donation above $250 should require a donation receipt. The same applies to stock gifts/donations.
Accounting for donations works the same as any other transaction. Even though you are donating and not making a profit, you still need to know how to debit and credit the appropriate accounts. Debits increase asset and expense accounts and decrease equity, liability, and revenue accounts.
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.
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.
How to Reissue a Donation Receipt Open the Donation Record: Navigate to the donation record for which you need to reissue the receipt. Edit Personal Information. Modify the First Name. Restore the First Name. Download the Reissued Receipt:
You certainly can donate to charity by putting it on your credit card. Just be aware that the charity won't get the full value. If you can write a check instead, they'd appreciate it.
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.
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.
