Rules on Recordkeeping for Charitable Contributions

2012-02-08T09:49:49-05:00

This will be mailed out yearly by January 15. There will no longer be quarterly statements sent out unless you specifically request that from the bookkeeper (bookkeeper@christianfamilychapel.com). CFC does not account for INDIVIDUAL donations less than $250 (even if the total of them all is over $250). Therefore, in order for you to deduct a charitable cash contribution to CFC that is LESS than $250 you must have a bank record (such as a canceled check or a bank statement containing the name of CFC, the date and the amount of the contribution; at many banks you can print a copy of the front/back of the check after it clears). Personal bank records for donations less than $250 are no longer sufficient under the new rules. Furthermore, it is unacceptable to the IRS (if you are audited) if you give a contribution and have the name of a person/missionary on the memo line. Therefore, if you choose to give to a missionary (regardless of the amount), please attach a separate sheet of paper with your check and place both in an envelope in the offering plate in order to ensure proper designation of your gift.
