Deductions & credits

There's a limit on how much of your charitable contributions you can deduct. The basic rule is that your cash contributions to public charities, colleges and religious groups can't exceed 60% of your adjusted gross income (AGI).

 

Sometimes a lower limit of 30%, or even 20%, is applied based on the type of organization or type of donation. When you go over the limit, you’re allowed to carry the excess forward for up to five years.
