Yes, you can split the donation amounts for your charities since it came from a joint account.
To get the charitable tax deduction, you have to itemize your deductions on Schedule A and the total amount of ALL your deductions has to be greater than your standard deduction.
To write off any cash contributions, no matter how small, you need a canceled check, bank record or a receipt with the charity's name and donation amount. That means that putting cash in the church collection plate or the Salvation Army bucket is a no-no if you want to be able to take a deduction for it.
As with all deductions, timing is everything. You can take the deduction for your contribution in the year that you make it.
