Contribution documentation will be tightened down in 2007 under the new tax bill passed by congress. To claim a deduction, a donor will be required to have a canceled check, bank record or receipt listing the name of the charity, the date and the amount of the contribution.
Current rules require a receipt from the donor only for contributions exceeding $250. Contributions for less than that amount have been documented in some instances by taxpayers keeping logs of their contributions. That's not going to cut it under the new rules.
