This year most of the guidelines are familiar: Give to a cause you really care about; be wary of solicitations by phone and email; check out the charity with a service like Charity Navigator or Guidestar ; keep records so you can get the tax deduction you're due come April. You should keep records of any donation you make, just in case of an audit The IRS requires you to keep a record of any cash contribution, such as a canceled check, bank statement, credit card statement, or written statement from the charity showing the date of the contribution, the amount of the contribution, and the name of the charitable organization.

When we asked our online respondents to imagine how happy they would be if they spent a $100 windfall on themselves, their average response on a five-point scale (with 5 being very happy”) was 3.89.

If you're donating to an event like a 5K or walk-a-thon, make sure you get the name of the organization, not the individual event. Bogus charity sites - fake websites for charities that do not exist, such as temporary fraudulent websites set up during well publicised disasters (for example famines and earthquakes). The charity has 30 days after it sells your vehicle to issue you a Form 1098-C that shows the sale price. Most collections and appeals are authentic and legitimate, but unfortunately fraudsters can exploit people's charitable nature and steal money which the donor thinks is going the help the charity. However, if you want to do a little extra, using Amazon Smile can be a good choice.
