Question: PTO refuses to issue receipts - course of action?

I found that our school's PTO is incorporated as a non-profit organization with the state. The PTO runs several clubs after school in which my children participate. I asked for receipts for my payments including an EIN so that I can turn them to the tax-saver benefit account for child care reimbursement. I was told that the PTO cannot issue me a receipt nor provide an EIN that because it is not a donation, but a service. From my perspective as a purchaser of the service, they should provide me the receipts as any other business. Any advice please?

Yes, they are likely wrong. Issuing a factual receipt can't get anyone in trouble. "Mrs. Jones paid $40 to send her child to our after-school kids' club this week" would be a fact. What you did with that receipt would be on you. Just seems like more education necessary, if it's really important to you. Tim
