Download Your Giving Statement
Important Notice:
To ensure the deductibility of your LifePoint contributions, do not file your 2011 income tax return until you have printed out your giving statement. Why is that? Good question! The IRS requires that your giving statement be provided to you prior to you filing your taxes. When you print your statement, be sure your printer settings include headers and footers, so your statement will have a printed on date listed. This shows the IRS you had your statement prior to filing your taxes, so be sure to keep a printed copy of it. In the event that you are audited or need to provide a copy of your records to the IRS, it is imperative that all statements (not just your LifePoint giving statement) are dated prior to your tax return filing date.

A giving statement is a detailed record of tax-deductible tithes and offerings given to LifePoint Church from members of your household. Your giving statement will be helpful to you in preparing your taxes.
When is my statement available?
Your statement is available to you 24/7. As soon as a contribution is received and processed through the bank, it will appear on your statement.
