Charitable Deductions for 2020

It appears that many taxpayers are not familiar with the special $300 tax deduction for charitable contributions even if you do NOT itemize your deductions. This is a special tax law change made earlier this year that allows cash donations up to $300 made before December 31, 2020 to be deductible when you file your 2020 taxes next year.

Thanks for the PSA ... when the TT program is fully operational in January we will see if that is a question for all users to answer or an information screen in the interview tree.

Level 2

Can contributions I made to my church this year (2020) be the $300 charitable deduction under the CARES Act?

Level 4

Any charity that is a 501(C)(3) is deductible. If you have given to the church in previous years and deducted it, this year will be no different.
