Are you the singing group?
Money received for services(singing) provided are taxable.

If gift is from an individual you will not receive paperwork, but they should get a receipt from your group (if given directly to the group) so they can claim it on their taxes...

You should receive a 1099 misc from orgainzation if money given is 600 or more...

Churches should have a policy in place to address love offerings.

Are you a person writing a check to the singing group? if the group is tax exempt and you are not giving to an individual the gift is deductable, get a receipt if not included on your yearly giving statement from the church.
