The Church Tax Donation Receipt documents a contribution of either money or property to a specific Church. This Entity will need to make sure several pieces of information are provided for this documentation to function properly. For instance, since this receipt will likely be presented to the I.R.S. by the Donor in hopes of receiving a tax deduction, it will need to clearly present the Church Donor’s identity and the value of the contribution. Once this template is filled out a signed copy should be kept by the Church and dispensed to the Donor.

The “Description Of Donation” field making up the first column of the table is set as a free-form area where descriptions regarding what the donation was and/or what cause it is meant to contribute to can be reported for property documentation.

Step 7 – Continue With Church Donation Information As Needed
The “Notes” section of this receipt should be provided with any additional subject matter concerning the church drive or submitted material. The blank lines here will accept such a report but can also be left blank if no additional topics can be applied. 
Step 8 – Supplement The Church’s Receipt Declaration With The Correct Wording

Begin by uploading or inserting the Church’s letterhead image or logo to the top of the page in cell A1. You will need to delete the “Add Your Church Logo Here” text then use “Insert” (found on the MS Ribbon) to achieve this task. 
Furnish the name of the Church in cell A2 by replacing the bracketed “Church Name” label with this material. Next, locate the Entity Identification Number assigned by the Internal Revenue Service to identify the Church. Once you have obtained this ID input it to cell A3. The Church’s official “Street Address” should be produced in cell A4. This entry must be the first address line in the Church mailing address. Produce the second line of the Church’s mailing address, excluding the postal code, in cell A5. Conclude reporting the Church address by furnishing its postal code in cell A6 (“Zip Code”).
Step 3 – Deliver Filing Material Attached To The Church Donation

The “Donor Information” section making up the next part of column A that you must fill with definitions is concerned with the Party or Business Entity that has successfully contributed money or property to the Church. Input the legal “Name” of this Church Donor to cell A9. 
Cell A10, cell A11, and A12 all focus on Church Donor’s mailing address. The labels here indicate this address should be reported using a couple of different fields (“Street Address” and “City, State, Country”) while the formal postal code should be displayed separately below them in the “Zip Code” field (Cell A12). The next two cells “E-Mail” address and “Phone” shall continue with the Church Donor’s identification with contact items that enable more immediate communication to occur. Record the “E-Mail” address of the Church Donor in cell A13 and the “Phone” number he or she maintains in cell A14.

Thus, record the formal title of the Church Drive the Donor addressed with his or her contribution to this cell. If the Donor contributed property to the Church, then it should also be displayed here. 
Step 6 – Attach The Dollar Or Estimated Dollar Value Of The Contribution
The “Value” field in cell H17 is set to list the dollar amount of the Church contribution received. If the property was listed in the previous cell along with a dollar donation, then the property’s value must be recorded as well. This can be done by estimating the value or simply having an appraisal. The “Value” entered here will represent how much money was contributed to the Church from the Donor.
Step 7 – Continue With The Additional Church Donation Information If Needed
There may be some additions that are not readily addressed. For instance, appraisal paperwork may need to be submitted with a property donation or comments to the Donor may need to be included. If this is the case, then use the space after the word “Notes” in cell A19 to present this information.
Step 8 – Confirm The Facts Of The Church Donation
Some necessary language will need to be included in this receipt. Turn to the sentence displayed in cell A20. This language can only be considered applicable to the receipt if you fill in several items beginning with the full dollar amount of the Church donation. Delete the second dollar sign in this statement along with the brackets then replace this text with the requested Church donation’s value.
Next, tend to the “Name” label by deleting both it and the brackets surrounding it then substituting the full “Name” of the Church Donor as the text following “…Was Donated By”The final object in this statement is a set of brackets around the word “Date.” Remove this placeholder then replace it with the month, two-digit calendar day, and two or four-digit calendar year when the Church contribution was successfully marked as received.

The manner in which the contribution to the concerned Church was made should be discussed to a certain extent. Observe the heading (Donation Method) in cell A22. One or more of the checkboxes below this cell should be selected to indicate how the Church Donor contributed the money or objects listed above. If this occurred with a credit card, then mark the checkbox in cell A23 to show a credit card was used and enter the “Credit Card No.” where requested. 
If the Donor elected to contribute to the Church’s cause by check, then cell A24’s “Check No.” box should be selected and the checkbook number on the physical check must be reported after the text presented.F23 should be marked if the Church contribution was a cash donation.
