Charitable contribution deduction for individuals who don't itemize
Individuals, including married individuals filing separate returns, could claim a deduction of up to $300 for cash contributions made to qualifying charities back in 2021. The maximum deduction was increased to $600 for married individuals filing joint returns.
This fixed an unintended consequence of the larger standard deductions. Is there any hope of getting this reinstated for 2022? It would be a force for good and the charitable holiday season is fast approaching.
