You will be able to get that charitable deduction next year on your 2026 tax return when that change goes into effect. For your 2025 return, charity donations go on Schedule A like always, and have no effect unless you have enough itemized deductions to exceed your 2025 standard deduction.

The $2,000 charitable deduction doesn't go int effect until tax year 2026. We are now preparing the 2025 tax return.
