Place cash donations for which you desire an income tax credit into an envelope with your name and address clearly on the envelope. In terms of such donations, at the time of contribution an email notification of receipt or a letter notification of receipt will be sent to you. You should keep that for your records.
Cancelled checks showing the name of the organization [CMMS Deshae Lott Ministries Inc], the date of the contribution, and the amount of the contribution also function as donor substantiation for income tax purposes. For donations under $250, the donor's cancelled check is sufficient evidence for IRS purposes. We will, however, send a tax receipt to any donor who requests one.
Donated property is also tax-deductible. Donors are responsible for the valuation of donated property but must provide a sufficient description to support the donor's contribution; the organization will keep a record of this, as must the individual claiming a tax deduction for it.
End of year tax receipts are sent to every individual donor of more than $250.
