Under the new law, taxpayers must
keep records of all cash donations. Individuals must show a receipt
from the charity, a canceled check, or credit card statement to
prove their donation. No tax deduction will be allowed if the
taxpayer cannot provide any supporting documentation. Non-cash
donations, such as cars, clothing, and household goods, must be
in good condition.
Acknowledgement required: If the claimed value of the car is more
than $500, you must have a written acknowledgement of your donation
from the organization and must attach it to your return
