Tax Receipt Wizard (Reference)

There are two styles of receipts generated by Theatre Manager. Click the links below to review more information about each receipt type:

Every donation includes a list of its receipts in the Donation Receipts Tab. Receipts can also be viewed across patrons in the Unprint Receipt List Window. Every receipt has a Receipt Detail Window.

The Print Receipts Wizard allows you to print all unprinted donation receipts, using criteria parameters of your choice. It is accessed under Setup >> Batch Functions. There are two access options to get to the batch tax receipt wizard:

  • Print Charitable Receipts for Donor
  • Print Annual Summary Charitable Receipts for Donor

The first option batch prints tax receipts in the per receipt style. The second option batch prints tax receipts in the annual statement style.

Though each option generates different tax receipt formats, the wizard has the same steps, all of which are variations on the similarly-named standard report build options tabs:

A drop-down to limit your donation receipts by a specific campaign (or show all campaigns). By default, Theatre Manager will include receipts for all campaigns.

An opportunity to limit the donation receipts to a specific patron or group of patrons based on Last Name. By default, this is normally blank.

Calendar Year
Allows you to print all unprinted charitable receipts for a specific calendar year. This may be used in January to print all unprinted receipts from the previous year. This field is mandatory for Annual Summary Charitable Receipts.

Print on Receipt
Options for including:

  • Receipt # on Forms
    • Unless your donation receipts have pre-printed numbers on them, allow Theatre Manager to print the receipt number.
  • Regular Name With company
    • If the donation is a corporate gift and an individual's name appears in the patron record, Theatre Manager can include both names on the donation receipt.
