No, you cannot write off your charitable contributions for tax year 2025 if you are not itemizing. The above-the-line charitable contribution deduction begins in the 2026 tax year. Here are more details:
- This applies to cash donations only (cash, check, credit card or debit card payments).
- Deduction allows non-itemizers to deduct up to $1k for single filers or $2k for married filing jointly. Head of household would get the $1k.
- Some types of donations are not eligible, such as contributions to donor-advised funds or private non-operating foundations.
