WHAT ARE THE LIMITATIONS FOR WHAT I CAN DEDUCT?
As part of the CARES ACT, individuals can elect to deduct donations up to 100% of their 2020 adjusted gross income. Normally, you can only deduct up to 60%. The new deduction is only for gifts that go to a nonprofit organization. The higher deduction does not apply to gifts to private foundations or donor advised funds. -
WHAT DOES THE CARES ACT MEAN FOR ME?
There are great tax benefits this year. If you take the standard deduction (meaning you don’t itemize), you can deduct up to $300 per taxpayer in charitable contributions. This adjustment will reduce your adjusted gross income, which reduces your taxable income. A donation to a donor advised fund does not qualify. -
