What’s the difference between a donation receipt and a tax receipt?

Donation receipts are the thank-you messages your donors get right after they give. They confirm the gift and show your appreciation.
Tax receipts include all the legal details donors need for tax deductions, like your nonprofit's EIN and confirmation that no goods or services were provided.
With Zeffy, you can automatically send both types of receipts, perfectly formatted to meet IRS and CRA standards.

Are Zeffy receipts IRS and CRA compliant?

Yes. They include your EIN or charity number and the required charitable-gift language.

Can Zeffy split the deductible amount on a ticket or gala?

Yes. When a ticket costs more than the fair market value the attendee receives, Zeffy receipts the deductible portion.

Can recurring donors get one year-end receipt?

Yes, a single cumulative receipt instead of twelve.

Does Zeffy file my taxes?

No. Zeffy issues donor receipts; it does not prepare your 990 or do bookkeeping. Encourage donors to confirm deductibility with their own tax professional.

How much does receipt automation cost?

$0, like everything on Zeffy.
