I plan to itemize deductions for tax year 2021.  Can I deduct charitable donations without a receipt?  If so, what is the maximum amount (married filing jointly)?

    You are not allowed to deduct any charitable donations without proof of the donation.

    What about this scenario?

    The only exception is donations made to organizations that have a dropbox type operation where a receipt is impractical.
