Year-End Contributions: Recording and Reporting

In order for your contributions to be tax-deductible in 2021, they must be received in the church or postmarked by December 31, 2021. Any contributions received in the church during the month of January 2022 (other than those that are mailed, dated, and postmarked by December 31, 2021) will be deductible only on your 2022 tax return.

Also, to ensure the deductibility of your church contributions, please do not file your 2021 tax return until you have received a written acknowledgement of your contributions from the church. Some of your contributions may not be tax-deductible if you file your return before receiving a written acknowledgement of your contributions from the church. The 2021 contribution statements are anticipated to be mailed to you around January 2022.

If you have any questions regarding year-end contributions, please contact Rich Mills, Business Manager, at 412-835-6630x201.
