Substantiation rules, in plain language.
- Gifts of $250 or more
The IRS requires a written acknowledgement from us before you file your return. We send one for every gift at this level; ask us if you did not receive it.
- Gifts under $250
A bank record, canceled check, or credit card statement is generally sufficient — but we still send an acknowledgement.
- Donated goods
We describe what we received but never assign a value. Determining fair market value is the donor's responsibility; gifts over $5,000 generally require a qualified appraisal.
- Volunteer time
The value of volunteered time or services is not deductible, though unreimbursed out-of-pocket expenses and mileage may be.
This page is general information, not tax or legal advice. Please consult your own tax advisor about your specific situation.
