Long story short, I donated the wrong amount of money to an organization & they have no record of it. My bank refunded me the overpaid amount. What should I do tax-wise?
On Saturday, 10/26/2019, I intended to donate (via Facebook) (dollar amount) to an organization. However, I mistakenly donated (dollar amount) instead. Once I realized my error (which was within minutes of making the donation), I contacted my friend who was the one raising the money, then filed a claim with my bank. My friend deleted my donation right away and my bank refunded me the amount I over-donated (dollar amount). However, the organization I donated to has no record of my donation. So (in my eyes) it's as if the amount I intended to donate never existed at all. I did receive an e-mail message from Facebook that contained a receipt for the amount I initially (and mistakenly) donated. However, I have no receipt whatsoever of my intended (dollar amount) donation. Given this situation, how would I go about filing my 2019 taxes?
