FAQ
Can you take charitable tax deductions without itemizing? No, to take a tax deduction for your charitable contributions in 2024 and 2025, your total deductions must exceed the standard deduction for your tax filing status.
As mentioned above, to claim a charitable donation, you need to itemize your deductions using Form 1040, Schedule A as part of your tax preparation. Schedule A reports your itemized deductions, including charitable contributions. Fill out this form carefully to ensure accurate information about your donations.
For tax year 2024, the allowable portion of your charitable contributions used to compute your Standard Deduction Increase was increased from 31% to 33% of the qualified charitable contributions made during the tax year.
However, if you want your deductible charitable contributions you must itemize your donation deduction on Form 1040, Schedule A: Itemized Deductions. It is important to know that you are choosing between taking the standard deduction and itemizing your donation deductions on Form 1040, Schedule A. You cannot do both.
Proof can be provided in the form of an official receipt or invoice from the receiving qualified charitable organization, but it can also be provided via credit card statements or other financial records detailing the donation.
Deductible expenses You can deduct these expenses whether you take the standard deduction or itemize: Alimony payments. Business use of your car. Business use of your home.
