Extra tax incentives for charitable giving from the CARES Act in 2020
Now is a great time to make charitable gifts of cash and other assets that can also provide you tax benefits!
As 2020 comes to a close, it is important to note that there are extra tax incentives to charitable giving this year. The CARES (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security) Act and the SECURE (Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement) Act offers advantageous ways to leverage charitable giving through December 31, 2020. (All charitable gifts have to postmarked by this date. There is still time to donate online!)
People who itemize can deduct 100% of their charitable giving, and those who don’t, can deduct up to $300 individually or $600 per couple. Additionally, all charitable cash contributions, up to 100% of your adjusted gross income, are deductible this year.
