Before You Begin

  • Canadian Donors: Please note that according to Canadian tax law, email receipts sent through Tithely may not serve as official tax receipts.

  • Tax Receipts vs. Transaction Receipts: Tithely sends automatic receipts for individual gifts. Annual tax receipts are issued directly by your church or organization, not Tithely.

  2. Contact the issuing organization (your church) immediately.

    • Provide specific details (e.g., "My statement is missing a donation from [date]" or "The amount is incorrect").

    • Supply supporting documents like bank statements or email confirmations.

  3. Follow up as needed.

    • Keep a record of whom you spoke with. Be patient, especially during tax season.


Troubleshooting & FAQs

  • What is included in a donation receipt?

    • Date of Gift: When the donation was made.

    • Name of Organization: Who you donated to.

    • Amount: Total sum contributed.

    • Fund/Designation: Where the gift was directed.

    • Gift ID: Unique identifier for the donation.

  • I didn't receive my donation receipt via email:

    • Check Donation History: Verify the donation exists in the App.

    • Wait: During peak times, receipts may take up to an hour.

    • Check Spam/Junk: Ensure the email didn't get filtered.

    • Verify Email: Ensure your email address in Tithely is correct.

    • Contact Church: If you still can't find it, contact your church office.

  • Who issues my Annual Tax Receipt?

    • Your tax receipts are issued by the organization/church you donated to, not directly from Tithely.

  • Can Tithely Support fix my tax statement?

    • No. Tithely support cannot assist with discrepancies in giving statements as these are managed by the organization. You must contact the church directly.
