Getting a receipt every time you donate strengthens your tax records if you are audited. If you make a large donation and don't have (or can't find) the receipt, the donation will almost certainly be disallowed on audit.

Written records, like check registers or personal notations, from the donor aren't enough proof. The records should show the: Organization's name.
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.
