In a pinch, you can also use a credit card statement as proof of your donation. Other good rules to keep in mind include the following:
- Donations of goods under $250 do not require a receipt; this means if you drop off clothing, books, or shoes to a tax-exempt organization’s collection box, you can still deduct that donation, even without a receipt, if the value of those items is less than $250
- Any donations to the Salvation Army or Goodwill between $251 and $500 require a receipt
- Donations valued between $500 but under $5000 need a receipt and a completed Form 8283, which explains how you got the item you are donating.
