Receipts and tax statements

Psalmly keeps a clear record of everything you give, so you always have what you need — a receipt for each gift in the moment, and a single statement at year's end for your taxes.

A receipt for every online gift

When an online gift settles, Psalmly emails you a receipt with the details and a confirmation number. A card gift settles right away, so the receipt lands in moments; a gift from your bank takes 3–5 business days to clear, and your receipt arrives once it does. Recurring gifts get a fresh receipt each time they're charged. Keep these for your records, or rely on your year-end statement below — either works.

A cash or check gift your church records for you doesn't get an emailed receipt. It still shows in your giving history and on your year-end statement, which is its acknowledgment.

Misplaced one? Open your Giving page, tap the gift, and tap Resend receipt — it goes straight back to your inbox. Your full giving history lives on that same page.

Your year-end tax statement

At tax time, you don't need to add up individual receipts. Psalmly produces a year-end contribution statement — one tidy PDF, per church, per year, listing every gift you made and the total. It's formatted as a proper donor acknowledgment, including the standard charitable language the IRS looks for, so you can hand it to your tax preparer as-is.

To get it:

• On the web — open your Giving page and find Tax statements. Choose a year and download the PDF.
• In the mobile app — open Giving, find your statements, and tap to download and share or save the PDF (to Files, email, or print).

Because giving is tracked per church, you'll get a separate statement for each church you gave to in a given year.

Anonymous gifts are still yours

If you ever chose to give anonymously, that choice only hid your name from your church's giving reports. It never hides anything from you: your receipts, your giving history, and your year-end statement always include every gift you made — anonymous ones included — because these are your personal records and you may need them at tax time.

Worth knowing on the other side, too: anonymity applies to your church's Psalmly giving reports. Any note you wrote still reaches them as you typed it, and your name still appears on the payment in their own Stripe dashboard.

Are my gifts tax-deductible?

Gifts to a qualifying church or nonprofit are generally tax-deductible, and your year-end statement is designed to support that. Psalmly isn't a tax advisor, though — for what applies to your specific situation, check with your church or a tax professional.
