Giving to charity in 2026? There’s a tax change you’ll want to know about.
You may be able to claim a deduction for qualifying cash charitable donations even if you don’t itemize and take the standard deduction.
For 2026, the deduction can be up to $1,000 for single filers or $2,000 for married couples filing jointly.
But there’s an important catch: not every type of charitable donation qualifies.
Keep your receipts and good records throughout the year instead of trying to track everything down at tax time.
And if you’re unsure how a charitable contribution may apply to your taxes, that’s a conversation worth having with your CPA before you file.
