According to the IRS you need documentation for all charitable contributions, even those under $250. You should have one of the following documents for each contribution:  a. cancelled check(s);  b. receipt or letter from the charitable organization; c. credit card receipt; d. other reliable written record.  See pages 16 & 17 of IRS Publication 526.\nYou can claim a deduction for a contribution of $250 or more only if you have an acknowledgement of your contribution from the charitable organization or payroll deduction records.

Do you have the ability to get donations from companies.\n\nIf so, see about getting donations from grocery stores, gas cards, bus line/taxi donations, haircuts, clothing from a resale shop, diaper discounts, MacDonalds gift certificates, etc.

My mom works for the American Kidney Fund. \n\nhttp://www.kidneyfund.org/\n\nThey send her a list of people who have donated clothes and other personal items in the past, and all she has to do is call them and see if they will donate again. They strictly collect items not money via the telephone so people are more generous. She is paid by how many pick ups are made from her lists and it is a great cause. \n\nGood Luck =)

Contributions to a specific person are not tax deductible, so if you see a notation like you describe someplace, it's not true and if you donate then end up audited, it'll be disallowed.

At this time of year I get a generous amount of requests for donations.  I use to donate to almost all of them, but after I started looking into the charities, I found that some of them were not registered with anything and I suspect the donation money was going to some greedy people in the name of Charity.  That is so disgusting. Now I only donate to organizations that can prove they are for real!  I know that so many many people need help and really deserve it-- I am willing to donate to as many charities as I can but only to those who are truly in need.

stold money from a church

Church tithing is a scam. In Deut. 14:22-26 you will see that the tithe is food not money. Your preacher will say that they didn't have money back then, but read it closely, vs 25 says if its too far to travel sell your tithe for money and when you get to Gods place buy whatever food and drink you want. Deut. 12:11-27 tells you that you can tithe at home and vs 17-18 tells that the tither always eats the tithe. The word tithe is used 40 times in the OT and only 8 in the NT but it is preached constantly. 2 Cor 16:1-3 collections were for the poor and to be on Sunday so that no money would be collected when Paul preached. Hmmm I gues that means he didnt preach on Sunday like the Pagan Romans did.Jacob was the first to tithe 10% of all that he has. Ask yourself what church did he give it to? In case anyone can't figure this out there were no churches.Tithing was a requirment of the law, why do churches only keep the parts of the law that will benefit them? If you keep the law then you must keep all the law. With that being the case why isn't your preacher slaughtering animals for sacrifce and checking their innards by hand for tumors? Before I give a tithe the preacher better have a goat tied to the alter and slit its throat. Always remember "You cannot serve God and Mammon".If your preacher tells people to tithe, which almost all do,then he is serving mammon(money).He is not a man of God and does not know Christ as Saviour for no man of God would ever ask for money for himself. Run from this church and never return. Find a non-tithing church.good luck with that one. We are to live by faith, where is the preachers faith, he is a swindler and has no faith and is stealing yours from you. A church is not a business, tell your preacher to get a real job and steal from people like all respectable CEO's do in the stock market.To anyone reading this, if you want a outline of everthing to do with tithing and its proper form compared to the church lies e-mail me at my below address and tell me that you want a copy of "The Power of Mammon" include your mailing address and I will mail it to you free of charge. I don't have to ask for money because I have faith in God to provide for me.

If you really want to give something back to your old neighborhood, check with the local hospital there.  There are usually all kinds of worthwhile places within the organization that could put donations to good use.  (To the children's ward, cancer center, a memorial contribution, etc).  Also I would check into a homeless shelter or somewhere in need of donations to feed the needy, or perhaps even the animal shelter.  And of course, there's the church.  Just put your heart into it and see what has touched your life and go with it.  And good luck to you!  You're very thoughtful.

TurboTax has ItsDeductible, an application for tracking and valuating donations to charity.\n\nIf you're talking about monetary contributions, my recommendation is a shoebox (for reciepts) and Microsoft Excel to tally them up until April 15, 2006.  :)

I go with this for myself.  10% for saving, 5-10% for giving if you are in a church.  35% for house expenses.  10-15% for groceries, 10% for unseen stuff, 5 to 10% for clothing all a month.  Hope this help.\n\n\nLC

If you are part of a church, go to your minister and explain your situation. Churches often have money budgeted to help people with things like utilities if they are in need. If you are not part of a church, you can still go to a church to ask for help. They are not going to turn you away just because you are not a member, and if they don't have money budgeted for such things, I am sure that the pastor of that church will know where to send you for help. I don't know if you are a Christian or not, but I know that churches are in the business of helping people who need it, so please don't feel embarrased or out-of-place by going there for help. I hope you get the help that you need. :)

Giving does not have to be in the form of money. You can give a helping hand by helping someone cross the street, hold a door open, offer to babysit...etc There are so many ways one can be giving. My husband can be the type to give and want something in return. I am not like that, I like to give, especially when the other person is in a very needy situation. God is the one that will reimburse us for our good deeds. Remember that what we sow is what we grow.

A deduction of $250 or more requires a written acknowledgment (receipt) from the charity, so the answer to your question is $249.99.  The legal answer is, you can claim the amount you donated, up to $249.99, even if you don't have a receipt.
