1 Cash—Amount given in a single donation; Noncash—Combined amount of all similar items of property donated to any charity during the year.Definition of terms:Written Records. Taxpayers’ records must include the following: (1) name and address of donee organization; (2) date and location of the contribution; (3) description of the property; (4) FMV of the property (or cost, if taxpayer required to or elects to reduce FMV for appreciated property); (5) information related to contributions of partial interests in property, if applicable, and (6) terms of any conditions attached to the donation, if applicable [Reg. 1.170A-13(b)(2)(ii)]. If the donation is over $500, written records must also include how and when the taxpayer got the property and the property’s cost or basis (basis information not required for publicly traded securities or for property held 12 months or more).Acknowledgment. Written acknowledgment from the charity must include a description of the property or amount of cash donated plus a statement as to whether the donor received any goods or services (with a good faith estimate of value) in connection with the donation [Reg. 1.170A-13(f)].• If the donor received intangible religious benefits, the acknowledgment must say so, although no valuation of such benefits is required. • Taxpayers must receive the acknowledgment before the earlier of (1) the date the return for the year of the donation is filed or (2) the due date, including extensions, for
filing the return. • The acknowledgment can be either a paper copy or in electronic format, such as an email addressed to the donor (IRS Pub. 1771).• If for taxpayer’s out-of-pocket expenses, the statement must describe the taxpayer’s services and state whether the charity provided goods or services in consideration for
out-of-pocket expenses.• If the donor received something other than de minimis items (such as a calendar or key chain) in return for a donation of more than $75, the charity must provide a statement
informing the donor that the charitable deduction is limited to the excess of the contribution over the value of the goods or services provided by the charity (with a good faith estimate of the value of the goods or services provided).
Pledge Card. A document prepared by or for the charity that shows the charity’s name. If $250 or more withheld each time, the pledge card must also state that the charity does not provide goods or services in return for any contribution made to it by payroll deduction.Noncash donations of less than $250. Receipt not required when it is impractical to obtain one from the donee organization (for example, items are left at a charity’s unattended dropbox).Noncash donations of less than $500. IRS Pub. 526 states that written records must be kept in all cases. However, Reg. 1.170A-13(b)(2) states that for noncash dona-tions of $500 or less, taxpayers are required to maintain written records regarding the donated property only if they do not receive a receipt from the charity because it is impractical to do so.Clothing and household items. Donations of clothing and household items must be in “good used condition or better” unless over $500 and qualified appraisal attached to return.
