IRS Tips to Help Taxpayers Make Sure Their Donations Go to Legitimate Charities
Many taxpayers choose to support charitable causes throughout the year. The IRS reminds everyone to ensure that their donations go to legitimate and qualified organizations. Here are key tips to follow:
- Before donating, always check if the organization is eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions. Use the IRS Tax-Exempt Organization Search (TEOS) tool on IRS.gov to confirm the charity’s status.
- Be Cautious of Scams. Always donate through official websites or trusted channels.
- The IRS recommends avoiding cash, gift cards, or wire transfers. Instead, use checks or credit cards, which provide proper documentation and tracking for tax purposes.
- For any charitable contribution, keep receipts or bank records.
Taking a few minutes to verify before giving can protect you from scams and help your generosity make a real difference.
