How to Record Tithes
Religious people give tithes to support their local church or ministry. The tithe is normally ten percent of the giver’s income. In order to claim your tithes and offerings on federal taxes record your tithes properly. Place your tithes in a tithing envelope that is marked with the appropriate information. The church keeps a record of the tithe and sends an end of the year tithing report to givers. Fill out all the blanks on your tithing record to insure you can claim your deductions.
