Tax Benefit for Charitable Giving in 2020 and 2021:
Charitable contributions are normally deductible only by taxpayers who itemize deductions. The CARES act of March 2020 and additional relief act of Dec 2020 allow deductions for cash contributions in 2020 and 2021 by taxpayers who take a standard deduction instead of itemizing. For tax year 2020 this deduction is limited to $300 for an individual or $300 for a married couple. For tax year 2021 it’s limited to $300 for an individual or $600 for a couple filing jointly. Check with your tax advisor whether you can take advantage of this deduction.
