Question

Donation limits for itemized deductions

My husband died last August. I have to file single this year. We have a big house to downsize. Have been giving to Goodwill, veterans organizations, Salvation Army, Church and Church school.

I know there is a percentage of AGI that applies to amount I can deduct which I will not know until my 1099’s start coming in. I read somewhere that if you had more than was allowable by percentage then there can be a carryover for the following year. Is that so?

Thanks, SDC13

Hello SDC13,

Yes the excess will carryover and you will have 5 years to use it all.
