Expenses Paid for by Parishioner with Receipt

by Andrew

I occasionally have a parishioner turn in a receipt for items they have purchased as a giving item. How do I treat these as far as giving records? Strictly speaking they are non-cash, but it would not be any different if I cut them a reimbursement check and the gave it back. To be clear, some of these items are reimbursable and some are not.

Ideally the church should have a written policy on how to handle these to be consistent with all parishoners. The church I worked for acknowledged these noncash donations with a letter to the individual and their original receipts remained with them for their tax files.

If you want to DIY your payroll, I highly recommend you look at using Gusto! It is very user friendly and their support is awesome! Plus they know how to set up and maintain payrolls for churches and nonprofit organizations.

Note: I am a "partner" of Gusto, but as I have told you before ... I never recommend anything that we or our clients have not tried and love =)
