For those planning to donate to charity for Giving Tuesday, there might be opportunities to receive money when filing income next year.

Here are some notable tax changes on donations through the end of 2021, according to the IRS.

People who do not detail can benefit from a deduction.

Taxpayers who typically benefit from the standard deduction were unable to deduct charitable contributions, but now they can claim a limited deduction when donating to certain qualifying charities.

A deduction can be up to $ 300 for married people who file separate returns and up to $ 600 for married people who file joint returns.

The limit on eligible cash contributions made by taxpayers that itemize deductions is 100%.

Those who detail deductions for charitable contributions to qualifying organizations have in the past received a deduction of 20-60% of their adjusted gross income.

Now, these taxpayers can apply to receive up to 100% of their adjusted gross income for charitable donations to qualified organizations.

The 100% limit is not automatic.

Taxpayers must choose to take the new limit for any qualifying cash contribution, otherwise, the usual limit applies. Other deductions allowed for charitable donations reduce the maximum amount allowed under this election. Individuals must make their choices on their 2021 1040 form or 1040-SR form.

The business limit is now 25% of taxable income.

C Corporations that make contributions to qualifying charities can apply for an increased limit of 25% of taxable income. The increase is not automatic.

C Companies must choose the limit on a contribution-by-contribution basis.

Companies that donate food may have higher deductions.

Businesses that donate food inventory may benefit from an increased deduction limit of 25% if they are eligible for the existing enhanced deduction.

For C corporations, the 25% limit is based on taxable income.

For other businesses, such as sole proprietorships, partnerships, and S corporations, the limit is based on their total net income for the year. A specific method of calculating the increased deduction will be maintained, as well as the food quality standard and other requirements.
