Deductions & credits
Q. Will I still get money back for donations if I don't pay taxes?
A. No.
If your calculated tax is already zero (without the donations), making donations cannot lower your tax any further.
Making charitable donations does not get you a refundable tax credit credit or refund. It only lowers that amount of your income that gets taxed. And as others have explained, sometimes not even then.
