Unfortunately, no. The IRS rules on charitable deductions are based on the date the donation is made. To get a tax benefit for a donation, you must claim it in the tax year in which the donation was made.
Charitable donations in 2026 for non-itemizers:
- Starting in 2026, you can deduct up to:
- $1,000 (Single)
- $2,000 (Married Filing Jointly)
- only for cash contributions. You will not be able to claim a deduction for donated items if you take the standard deduction.
Charitable donations in 2026 for itemizers:
- AGI Floor: You must donate more than 0.5% of your AGI before any charitable deduction counts.
- If you choose to itemize your deductions in 2026, you will still be able to deduct the fair market value of donated items.
