Donation Information for Income Tax Purposes
The end of the year is fast approaching and it will
soon be time to file your income tax returns. With
this in mind, the Mail Processing Center offers the
following information for your consideration.
• Mail containing donations must be postmarked by
December 31 to be eligible for a 1983 receipt.
• The annual receipts will be mailed out after
January 20 and should reach you by the end of
January or the first week in February.
• If a husband and wife give separate donations,
each will receive separate annual donation re
ceipts. If a joint tax return is being filed,
they may at that time combine the total contri
butions.
• Please understand that donations credited to a
child's record cannot legally be transferred to
the parents' annual receipt and should not be de
ducted on the parents' tax returns.
• Canceled checks, money order receipts, and your
annual receipt from Headquarters should be re
tained in your personal records. It is recom
mended that you keep this information for a period
of five years to back up your tax returns.
If you have any questions concerning receipts, please
feel free to contact us by letter or by using the WATS
line during normal business hours (Monday through
Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific Standard Time).
