If you have the original dated receipt copy make a photocopy of that receipt so it shows the date it was originally given. On the page note that this is a copy of the original. They can only claim once and even if they did claim both don't worry because if ever asked to produce receipts both of you would be handing in a page that says duplicate and they would be denied. You will only be required to claim the income once for the original receipt so don't worry about that either. You can then either send the page you create by email to them to be printed out or mail them a copy.

That is one of the reasons I give a receipt with each payment but give one final tax receipt with all of my contact information in January for all families - even those that left during the year. In town they must pick it up and if they have moved out of town will mail it to them. Too often things get lost and misplaced. The probably didn't even think about taxes last year when they got the receipt.
