However, the rules related to charitable donations may be somewhat confusing for your clients. Here&#8217;s a primer from the IRS with suggestions on recordkeeping and acknowledgments for you to review and to pass along to your clients.<\/p>\n<p>Taxpayers who plan to claim a charitable deduction on their tax return must do the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Have a bank record or written communication from a charity for any monetary contributions.<\/li>\n<li>Get a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/charities-non-profits\/charitable-organizations\/charitable-contributions-written-acknowledgments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wa-link=\"body_irs-writtenacknowledgments\" target=\"_blank\">written acknowledgment<\/a> from the charity for any single donation of $250 or more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Here are six facts for taxpayers to remember about these donations and written acknowledgments:<\/p>\n<p>#1: Taxpayers who make single donations of $250 or more to a charity must have one of the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A separate acknowledgment from the organization for each donation of $250 or more.<\/li>\n<li>One acknowledgment from the organization listing the amount and date of each contribution of $250 or more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>#2: The $250 threshold doesn\u2019t mean a taxpayer adds up separate contributions of less than $250 throughout the year.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For example, if someone gave a $25 offering to their church each week, they don\u2019t need an acknowledgment from the church, even though their contributions for the year are more than $250.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>#3: Contributions made by payroll deduction are treated as separate contributions for each pay period.<\/p>\n<p>#4: If a taxpayer makes a payment that is partly for goods and services, their deductible contribution is the amount of the payment that is more than the value of those goods and services.<\/p>\n<p>#5: A taxpayer must get the acknowledgment on, or before, the earlier of these two dates:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The date they file their return for the year in which they make the contribution.<\/li>\n<li>The due date, including extensions, for filing the return.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>#6: If the acknowledgment doesn&#8217;t show the date of the contribution, the taxpayers must also have a bank record or receipt that does show the date.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some resources for more information:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/help\/ita\/can-i-deduct-my-charitable-contributions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wa-link=\"body_irs-deductiblecharitablecontribs\" target=\"_blank\">Can I Deduct My Charitable Contributions?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/publications\/p526\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wa-link=\"body_irs-pub526\" target=\"_blank\">Publication 526<\/a>, <em>Charitable Contributions<\/em><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/pub\/irs-pdf\/p1771.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-wa-link=\"body_irs-p1771\" target=\"_blank\">Publication 1771<\/a>, <em>Charitable Contributions Substantiation and Disclosure Requirements<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Get six facts for your clients to remember about charitable  donations and written acknowledgments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":104275893,"featured_media":10652,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rkv_browse_by_id":0,"rkv_cta_id":0,"rkv_optimize_for_pagespeed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"useModifiedDate":false,"customPublishDate":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false},"categories":[509474089],"tags":[7649],"intuit_collection":[],"intuit_series":[],"coauthors":[509474241],"class_list":["post-10549","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tax-law-and-news","tag-irs"],"header_image":"","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
