I was helping my Mom with her taxes. It was a joint return Turbo Tax Deluxe. The Charitable deduction screen ask how much of the $300.00 was hers so since she pays all of it but its on there joint income. My concern is we completed and submitted but now she reads in the news paper its $300 per person, so $600 for 2 people. I did not see how to add $300 for both. Please comment.
The maximum cash donation is $300 for tax year 2020.
Go to the IRS Form 1040 Instructions (2020) for Line 10b on page 29 - https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040gi.pdf#page=29
Line 10b
If you don't itemize deductions on Schedule A (Form 1040), you (or you and your spouse if filing jointly) may be able to take a charitable deduction for cash contributions made in 2020.
Enter the total amount of your contributions on line 10b. Don't enter more than:
• $300 if single, head of household,
or qualifying widow(er);
• $300 if married filing jointly; or
• $150 if married filing separately.
