Recent Tax changes for Charitable Giving
Individuals who don’t itemize their taxes could deduct up to $300 in cash donations for the 2020 tax year only. Contributions to Donor Advised Funds, Gift Accounts and Supporting Organizations are not eligible for this deduction.
The Act also lifts the cap on annual giving from 60 percent of adjusted gross income to 100 percent.
Required minimum distribution (RMD) requirements have been suspended for the 2020 tax year. Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) are still available as a gifting option if you are 70 1/2 and older.
Please check with your financial advisors on what strategy is best for your charitable giving.
Here are some helpful resources.
