The Twelve Days of Taxmas – Expanded Charitable Donation

As Christmas approaches, Klatzkin is putting a twist on a holiday classic. But rather than filling your head with drummers drumming and golden rings, we’re focused on providing important tax insights through “The Twelve Days of Taxmas” blog series that could help minimize your tax liability.

Taxpayers who do not itemize can take advantage of the charitable donation deduction – those filing single or married filing separately can claim a deduction of up to $300 for cash contributions. Married individuals filing joint returns can deduct up to $600 of cash contributions on their 2021 tax returns.
