Cash Contributions Under the CARES Act Extended Into 2021
The CARES Act, enacted on March 27, 2020, provides additional tax benefits for charitable cash contributions to qualified public charities (like the Center) made in 2020 and 2021. Individuals who take the standard deduction may deduct up to $300 in charitable contributions. Joint filers in 2021 may take an additional “above the line” deduction up to $600. Individuals who itemize on their 2020 tax returns can elect to deduct donations up to 100% of their 2020 adjusted gross income. Consult your tax advisor for more detail.
