How to generate a tax statement for a person

Gracely makes it easy to generate a tax statement for an individual person. Tax statements summarize giving for a selected period and are commonly used for year-end tax purposes.

When to generate a tax statement

You may want to generate a tax statement when:

  • A member requests their annual giving summary

  • You are preparing year-end contribution statements

  • You need a printable or shareable giving record

Tax statements include only deductible contributions.

Open the person’s giving records

  1. Go to People from the left sidebar.

  2. Open the person’s profile.

  3. Click the Giving tab at the top of the profile.

You will see an overview of total giving and a list of individual contributions.

Generate the tax statement

Step-by-step

  1. Inside the Giving tab, click Print statements.

  2. The tax statement preview will open in a new view.

Gracely automatically:

  • Uses the person’s contact details
