is st, judes qualified.

Yes, the St Jude Hospital is a qualifying charity for donations. Any amount given to this organization will qualify as a charitable donation, within the limits allowed.

 

The tax law is clear that you must have receipts to be allowed to take the deduction if it is $250 or more on one date. 

  • It is your responsibility to prove the amount of your donations. And as stated you must have proof of the cash donations.  If you give cash, check or charge payments on one day to one organization of $250 or more, you must have a receipt in your hands before filing your tax return. If not, you are not entitled to the deduction.
