I can't print an official tax receipt. I can only get the information that says it's not acceptable for tax purposes. How do I get the official tax receipt?

What country? It doesn't look like the statements are ready for the US yet. I only see 2007-2015.

From the donations page, select Donor Statements > Official Tax Statement. Select year and then click "Generate statement".

I'm having the same trouble. There is no choice for 2016 for Official Tax Receipt.

Traditionally, I don't know as any sizable organization has tax statements ready until the latter part of January. I'd speculate that it may have something to do with making sure all transactions are finalized before issuing a legal document.

You can use Statement of Contributions as a planning number (keeping in mind that not every donation category is tax deductible).

As you can see in this post, last year the official tax statements were promised sometime between January 19 and January 31. So at this point it is very premature to expect the statements to be available. Just be patient.
Questions that can benefit the larger community should be asked in a public forum, not a private message.

I checked just now, and I can print a Official Tax Statement (US) for 2016.

I received this email ten minutes ago:
You have now received the pre-generated year-end tax statements in Leader Clerk Resources (LCR). As instructed in the December 15th letter from the Presiding Bishopric, please print these statements and give them to each donor. To print the statements, go to the Finance menu in LCR and click Tithing Settlement. On the Year-End Statements tab, print the pre-generated donor statements.
However, I still only see the 2015 statements, not the 2016 statements. I'm not complaining. I am willing to wait as long as it takes.

Are you talking about LCR or on-line donations?

If on-line donations, when was your last donation for 2016? Mine was 30 Dec, so mine might show up a day before someone who donated on 31 Dec.

You'll have to go to https://donations.churchofjesuschrist.org/donations

And it may not be ready until around the 15th.

No date has been given, but based on history, it should be any day now.

Contact your ward clerk. He can print the statement for you. Since your contributions do not show online then have him make sure your donations were recorded under your membership record number (MRN). He can make any necessary corrections if that did not happen.

Have you tried finding your answer on the ChurchofJesusChrist.org Help Center or Tech Wiki?

The donor statement tax forms are not coming up. The email from the Church said they were available last Friday, but since that time I have tried to pull up those records, but the page simple states, this page is not working contact site owner. I was wondering if you knew when that page would be available and working correctly?

You'll need look using your other Church Account that has your MRN attached to it.

My donation history listed on-line does not match the amount listed on my official donation receipt. All donations were made on-line.

Your ward clerk (or finance clerk) is the one to contact if any of your donations are missing or seem to be recorded incorrectly. They have the ability to review all donations to track down the problem and can almost always make corrections.

But note that if you're looking at the official tax receipt (as opposed to the donation statement usually distributed in Oct or Nov) then it will only show donations that are considered tax deductible. Any payments for camps (or really any ward specific category) will not show up on the tax statement.

I had the same thought, but since he did all his donations on-line, the only way that could happen is if a donation was re-categorized by the clerk.

'Tiz a puzzle. I agree the next step is to talk to his clerk.

If you are in a country that has online donations, you should see your official tax receipt shortly after the end of the tax year here: https://donations.churchofjesuschrist.o ... /#/reports

If you don't see it there or if it appears incomplete, you should contact your ward or branch clerk for assistance.

How do I print official tithing receipt for tax purposes

If you are in a country that allows online donations, you can obtain your tax receipt from your donations page. If you are in the USA and have not turned off having the ward print your official tithing receipt for tax purposes, your ward/branch clerk will have that file and can print it for you. Some clerks don't print them all and wait for member requests to print the ones needed.
