π Starting in 2026, there is a new tax benefit for charitable contributions. In the past, if you took the standard deduction, you generally couldn't deduct your charitable donations. But starting in 2026, you may be able to deduct up to one thousand dollars if you're single, or two thousand dollars if you're married filing jointly. Remember to keep records of your donations because you may need them when you file your tax return.
