<prompt> Human: I just set up a payroll deduction at work to automatically donate a certain amount each paycheck to a non-profit. Do I have to keep record of anything for tax purposes? Will the donation show up on my W2 at the end of the year or will I have to report it some other way?  <response>: Your employer should include a line item on your check stubs andor W-2 at year end. You should also hold on to whatever confirmation of your pledge if you have one email, carbon copy pledge form. That satisfies any IRS reporting. Thats if you even itemize your taxes in the first place. If not, your pledgegift means nothing from a tax perspective, but a welcome gift to the nonprofit organization.The recipient nonprofit should not tax receipt you for payroll deductions only thank you, though some who are unaware might.
