The Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA) changed the information Taxpayers must provide to claim charitable deductions beginning in 2007. Generally, taxpayers must have a receipt from the charity or a bank record to substantiate any contribution. If you use Online Giving or church envelopes, for cash or checks, you will be able to get a statement from the Church office for tax filing. Use your envelope weekly and get your full deduction from the IRS!
