Do you normally take the standard deduction?
Starting with tax year 2026, you may still be able to deduct cash donations made to qualified charitable organizations, even without itemizing.
The limit is up to $1,000 for individual filers and $2,000 for married couples filing jointly.
Keep your receipts or bank records, and remember that donations made directly to individuals or personal fundraisers do not qualify.
