Send a claim on the receipt page. We examine it. Then you download the receipt with your claim code.
What value does the food receipt show?
None from us. Under IRS rules the donor sets the value of donated goods, not the charity. You can enter your own cost and value, and the receipt shows them as your figures. Your tax advisor calculates the deduction.
