In trying to get my tax statement for tithing, I clicked on Membership, but nothing happens. I tried to open it in another tab and the same page was shown. What is wrong?

You need to go to https://lds.org/donations to see the tithing statement.

The statement is a PDF. When you open it, it will either be in your browser or a PDF reader (depending on how you choose to open it and how your system is set up). It's then up to your browser or your PDF reader application to print it. Both of those should have standard features for printing.

If you are still having difficulty printing, please report back just how you are viewing the PDF (in which browser, or in which PDF reader) and we'll try to help.
Questions that can benefit the larger community should be asked in a public forum, not a private message.

At the Donations page click on Donor Statements. Open a statement by clicking the "Official US Tax Statement" button and where it says "Select Statement Type:" select the year. Then click the blue "Generate Statement" button. In the section titled "Generated Statements" will be a hyperlink to a PDF document titled "Official US Tax Statement ([year]) for the year you have selected. Click that to open the document. Since it is a PDF document you should be able to print it.

When I click my statement I get the PDF document displayed in a new tab because I have set my browser options to display it that way. From there I just click the print icon to print it. Depending on how you have your browser set up to display hyperlinked documents will determine what happens after you click the hyperlinked document.

I also cannot access this. Does it work for Australia? I received an error about having a valid email address. Checked my lds account and there is a verified email address.

Any ideas?

Different countries have different requirements. I would suggest working with your ward clerk to see what options are available to you. He will also be able to help you contact the Global Service Center if there is something that should be available but is not working properly.

It's not showing up in your forum account. Did you check at ldsaccount.lds.org?

Just an update: I could not see the Donor Statements link. I was using the latest version of firefox. Doesn't work on firefox apparently. Works on Chrome. It looks like the 2018 tax statement isn't available yet.

Worked just fine on Firefox for me just a few moments ago. The 2018 statement is not yet there, but the earlier 10 years are.

I know sometimes sites are funky because of the browser, but I believe many times it is simply because of the way a complicated page loads, no matter what the browser.

Try clearing your LDS.org related cookies and your cache. That seems to have solved the problem for most. If it does not, try to access the site using the incognito or equivalent setting in your browser, or if that does not work, try with a different browser.

That would indicate that for some reason your donation wasn't linked to your Membership Record Number (MRN).

As for how to get a official statement, it depends on how you donated. If you gave to the ward in person, then you need to contact the ward(s) involved. If you did it on-line, then you need to use the same login as you used to do the donation.

No time table has been announced, but I'd expect it in the next few days.

I am incredibly frustrated and furious! I have been trying, over and over again, for the last 30 minutes, to get into my tithing account and print my statement. this should be a 5 minute job. I am using my correct ID and password. I am able, for example, to get into my ward list. However, all I get is a blank screen and/or another request to update my account when I try to get into my tithing account! GO BACK TO THE OLD, RELIABLE, MANUAL way of managing our accounts rather than wasting our time and tithing money with this UTTER NONSENSE!

Also, if you actually have my account recorded, I would really appreciate being able to get my tithing statement.

Sounds like the classic cookie issue church websites have. Try using incognito/private mode.

That is available from your ward clerk. The Tech Forum is user-to-user discussion. Nobody here has access to your account information and cannot assist you with that.
