  • organization, donor, and verified tax ID when appropriate
  • donation date, campaign, and restriction
  • cash amount and receipt number
  • goods or services provided in exchange, if any
  • authorized receiver and careful tax-language note

When this document is the right choice

Use this cash receipt to document a cash payment at the moment it is received. A cash receipt should identify the payer, amount, purpose, date, and person receiving the money. Keep a matching copy because cash does not create an automatic bank-card record.
