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.

We are dealing with a similar issue at our school. And, yes the PTO probably should offer receipt for anything you send in. However, pay by check and then that can serve as your receipt.
But, let's be clear, payment for PTO sponsored clubs, events, or services are not tax deductible. A service is provided and payed for. DONATIONS to the PTO (or other non-profits) ARE tax deductible.
