$𝟑𝟎𝟎 𝐓𝐚𝐱 𝐃𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐭: With the increase of the standard deduction in 2018 many taxpayers no longer itemized since they no longer met the threshold. Statistics show that individual charitable giving fell 3.5% adjusted for inflation in 2018 – cutting revenue to nonprofits.
Starting in tax year 2020, charitable donations up to $300 can be deducted from your adjusted gross income with no requirement for itemization. Donations must be made in cash to a qualifying nonprofit organization. Make certain you keep your receipts so you can deduct your $300.
