Charities that receive donated property may also have information reporting requirements, in addition to the requirement to file annual returns. Requirements depend on the type of property donated, the claimed value of the donated property, and the use to which the charity puts the property. Depending on these factors, the following information reporting requirements may apply: Written acknowledgment: Required under Internal Revenue Code section 170(f) for a donor to substantiate a charitable contribution of $250 or more. Written disclosure statement: Required under Code section 6115 when a donor makes a quid pro quo contribution (a payment exceeding $75 partly as a contribution and partly for goods and services provided by the organization). The same document may serve as both the written acknowledgment and the written disclosure statement. Vehicle donations: Additional reporting requirements may apply when a charity receives a donation of a vehicle. See Publication 4302, A Charity's Guide to Vehicle Donations PDF, for more information.
