Are 2017 payroll deductions tax-deductible?
Yes. Donations, including payroll deductions, are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by an individual’s or corporation’s circumstances. Those contributing through payroll deduction in their workplace should keep a copy of their pledge receipt and maintain their last pay stub of the tax year or Form W-2 from their employer that summarizes the amount withheld for the United Way during their tax year.

I made my gift through payroll deduction, but I didn’t receive a tax receipt in the mail. How may I find out how much I donated in 2017?
To find out the total amount you donated in 2017, reference your last pay stub of the tax year. Your Form W-2 from your employer may also summarize the amount withheld for the United Way during their tax year.
