FAQs

  • New 0.5% AGI floor: You can only deduct charitable contributions that exceed 0.5% of your AGI. For example, a taxpayer with a $200,000 AGI would have the first $1,000 of their donations excluded from the deduction ($200,000 x 0.005).
  • 60% AGI limit made permanent: The ability to deduct cash gifts to public charities up to 60% of AGI is now a permanent rule.
  • 35% cap on deduction value for top earners: If you are in the highest federal tax bracket (37%), the tax benefit of your itemized deductions will be capped at a 35% rate. 
  • Universal charitable deduction: A new permanent provision allows single filers who take the standard deduction to claim an additional deduction of up to $1,000 for cash donations. The limit is $2,000 for married couples filing jointly.
  • This new deduction is ONLY for cash gifts directly to charities (not DAFs or private foundations).
  • The inflation-adjusted limit for QCDs will increase to $115,000 per individual.
