What is a tax-deductible donation and how does it affect me?
Donations to charity are tax deductible expenses. These donations can reduce your taxable income and lower your tax bill. Not everyone will be able to deduct their charitable contributions, however. You will need to itemize your tax deductions in order to claim any charity.
"You may deduct charitable contributions of money or property made to qualified organizations if you itemize your deductions." (IRS Publication 78)
Where to Claim the Charity Deduction
You claim your tax deduction on Form 1040, Schedule A (PDF).
Rules for Claiming the Charitable Contribution Deduction
Your gift of cash or property must meet certain criteria in order to be tax-deductible.- You must actually donate cash or property. A pledge or promise to donate is not deductible until you actually pay.
- You must contribute to a qualified tax-exempt organization. Charities will let you know if they have received their 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. Some organizations are not required to obtain 501(c)(3) status from the IRS. These include churches and other religious organizations.
