The Noncash Donation Statement (Receipt) below are available free for your small business office to distribute when needed.
What is a noncash donation or contribution?
Any type of item or service that is not cash that is given as a donation to an organization and/or business. These items could be anything from business desktop computers, business laptops, business vehicles, building or professional services.
If your small business and/or organization accepts noncash donations then you need the form (receipt) below.
There are several different IRS regulations and rules for these types of donations so be sure and research the IRS site to make sure you are keeping up to date on the latest regulations.
A written receipt should always be issued for all noncash donations. Usually, your small business or organization is not responsible for establishing the value of the noncash items and should not include any value on the receipt.
However, a new tax law adopted in 2004 requires extra documentation from your organization for donations of qualified vehicles (including automobiles, boats, and airplanes).
The rules are pretty detailed. If you need the exact instructions, you can research it on the IRS site.
All receipts should be numbered for accounting and control purposes.
