If you are referring to the tax receipt/acknowledgement, it should conform
to the IRS requirements for a quid pro quo receipt outlined in IRS
Publication 1771. Those must state the total amount paid, provide full
description and value for what they received in return, and a statement
indicating the difference between the two is what is eligible for a tax
deduction.
If you are referring to any other sort of thank you letter, best practices
suggest that no dollar value information is included. This is to avoid
confusion between the thank you and the above-mentioned tax receipt.
