Encoded tithing wrong person

We discovered that a tithing was encoded to the wrong person.
Can I still change a donation from one member to another member with almost the same name. And if so, how to do that?

Thanks in advance and a happy new year

Open the donation batch (View/Edit Donations), then find the donation (click on the donor's name). Then you can change the donor name or categories as needed. You'll need to provide a reason as you save your changes.

Make sure you print out the updated batch report and file it with that week's paperwork for audit purposes.

Also, since this was probably in 2015, make sure that both the wrong person and the right person know that their donation totals have changed, so that they don't make any assumptions about their year-end totals for tax or other purposes.
