Generating Bilingual or French-only Receipts

If your organization is in Quebec, or has a national donor base, you will need to generate either French/English bilingual or French-only receipts. To do that, go to Maintenance à Receipt Options and check one of the "Quebec" radio buttons before generating any receipts. (One is for bilingual, the other for French-only.)

When you do that, the main portion of the receipt, which you submit with your tax form, will be bilingual or French-only. In addition, there will be two copies of the main receipt, one for the federal and one for the provincial tax return. Please note, however, that the rest of the program is not at all bilingual.

I believe that the bilingual and French-only receipts will still fit into standard window envelopes. If you wish to have tear-off forms created for these receipts as described above, you will have to have the printers create two lines of perforations.

One disadvantage of the bilingual and French-only receipts is that because of the extra space taken by the 2nd copy of the receipt, receipts tend to go onto a 2nd page. If there is only one donation covered by the receipt, however, it will still fit on one page.
