How about a receipt policy that says everyone gets a paper receipt. Period.

Yea. Print on one side only so those that don't want the receipt can use
the other side for notes or doodles or something.

Geez, I'm tired of this.
Re #106: 4 people spent $75 or more for goods (auction and/or Grex store
items) in 1998.
I guess I should call R. Sue. I predict that she's no more likely to back
down from her position than Sindi is.
For the record, my concerns are:
1. Keeping out of trouble with the IRS
2. Keeping our donors as happy as possible; some may be happier with more
paper, some with less
3. Minimizing the treasurer's workload
I think any reasonable policy needs to address all of these points. If you
find yourself formulating an opinion based on only some of them, please
reconsider it.

PIck a policy and implement it. I'd say, err on the side of being helpful
and cautious.

Keep out of trouble with the IRS. Keep our treasurer happy. Keep as many
members as possible happy. Just do what you need to do, aruba.

This matter is in your capable hands, aruba, as far as I'm concerned.

Give people a choice of whether they want paper receipts, don't make it for
them. You are sending email receipts anyway. Do you want to send paper
receipts to 85 or so people every year, just in case one of them wants a paper
receipt but was too shy to ask for it? And does not get back cancelled
checks? The IRS specifically says you don't need a paper receipt unless you
are itemizing and eitehr it is for $250 or over and you dont' have a cancelled
check. The receipt for amounts $75 or more is only in cases where someone
is getting goods or services for their mone.
How about letting anyone who wants a paper receipt request it at the time they
send in their check, as well as asking if they want a paper receipt when
sending out the email receipt (and pointing out that they only need a paper
receipt if they are itemizing and don't get cancelled checks or are donating
$250 or more). And automatically sending out a written statement (and keeping
a copy) to anyone who sends a check for $75 which is partly for goods or
services received. And keeping photocopies of all checks received, which
should make the IRS quite happy. The would seem to satisfy all the writtenn
rules that I could find.
