Charitable giving of $250 to $500

When you make a charitable giving of $250 or more, a written acknowledgement is necessary to prove your charitable contribution of $250 or more. In this charitable giving case, a cancelled check is not enough proof of charitable contributions to the IRS. An acknowledgement can be a letter, email. computer generated form, or postcard. The acknowledgement must state whether you received any good or services from the charity in exchange for the charitable contributions.
