Charitable Contributions: Tax Considerations

Charitable Contributions Made By Payroll Deduction

Next » « Previous

5/6

If you make a charitable contribution by payroll deduction in which no single contribution is $250 or more, you either need:

  • A written communication from the charity showing the amount of the contribution made during the year OR
  • A pay stub, form W2, Wage and Tax Statement or other employer-furnished document furnished by the employer that shows the amount withheld and paid to a charitable organization OR
  • A pledge card prepared by or at  the direction of the charitable organization.

If you make a charitable contribution by payroll deduction in which at least one contribution is $250 or more, you must use both of the following documents as the written acknowledgement obtained from the charitable organization:

  • A pay stub, Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement,  or other document furnished by the employer that sets forth the amount withheld by the employer and paid to the charitable organization AND
  • A pledge card that includes a statement to the effect that the organization does not provide goods or services in consideration for contributions to the organization by payroll deduction.
  • Each payroll deduction in the amount of $250 or more is treated as a separate contribution for purposes of this threshold requirement for written acknowledgements.
