Charitable donation receipts can be typically had for the asking. If you have donations that equal over $500, yet come in under $5000, then ask for a receipt. The receipt must show the address of the charity, the age of the donation, and the original cost. You must also include how you acquired the donation, and a description of the current value estimation. If your donation is valued over $5000,
. then an appraiser must sign your tax return, as well as the charity. Every non-profit donation is a tax write-off. For more information, please visit http://www.traderstatus.com/charity.htm.
