Tax ID, 501(c)(3) and Receipts

Our Tax ID number is 13-5644916.

If you require proof that LLS is exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, please download our IRS determination letter.

Tax receipts

As you acknowledge your donors personally, LLS acknowledges them officially. Our thank you also serves as a tax receipt. The IRS does not require tax receipts for donations under $100.

If someone who donated $100 or more has not received an acknowledgement within six weeks of their donation, contact your team manager for assistance.

Auctions and In-Kind Donations

For goods or services, LLS can provide an in-kind gift receipt. This receipt acknowledges that the gift was given to benefit LLS, and that no goods or services of any kind were provided in exchange for the gift. LLS may not legally list the estimated amount or market value of the in-kind gift. The donor needs to assign that value themselves.

LLS can issue tax receipts to those who purchase auction items as well (assuming the proceeds benefit LLS). In this case, LLS would issue a receipt for what the donor paid above and beyond the fair market value of the gift.
