Receipts for Charitable Donations?
I donate to several different charities, most of whom do not send receipts for the donations received.
DH is not happy, because he wants to be able to claim the deductions.
What is the best way to get a receipt? Send a letter at the end of the year for a summary of all donations? Request one when you send in the $$ for each individual check?
What about groups that send you a "free gift" for your donation? Can you still deduct the $$ that you sent them? What if you didn't request the gift? For example, I donate regularly to the Humane Society of the US. They send me a gift once every couple of months. I don't ask for it, would rather not get it.
Any input / advice is appreciated.
TIA!

Re: Receipts for Charitable Donations?
Agree with daves PP.
A copy of the check, as well as a copy of the form you are completing to send along with the check, is always a good idea.
For Goodwill donations, keep an itemized list of what was donated along with your drop off receipt. Then look online for the "cost" of the items.
Hope this helps!
