Important Information Regarding Tax Deductions

---

You claim your tax deduction on Form 1040, Schedule A(PDF). This is found on Lines 16 through 19.

Rules for Claiming the Charitable Contribution Deduction

Your gift of cash or property must meet certain criteria in order to be tax-deductible.

• You must actually donate cash or property. A pledge or promise to donate is not deductible until you actually pay.
• You must contribute to a qualified tax-exempt organization. Charities will let you know if they have received their 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. Some organizations are not required to obtain 501(c)(3) status from the IRS. These include churches and other religious organizations.
• You must be able to itemize. Giving to charity is a great tax planning strategy, but it only works for people who are eligible to itemize their deductions.
• You must meet record keeping requirements. This includes saving canceled checks, acknowledgment letters from the charity, and appraisals for donated property.

Keeping Records of Your Charity

Taxpayers are required to keep excellent records of their charitable contributions. Under the Pension Protection Act of 2006, you must keep written records of all cash donations. Donations of $250 or more will not be allowed as a tax deduction unless you have supporting documentation. Your records must indicate the name of the charitable organization, the date of your contribution, and the amount your contribution. This new record keeping requirement took effect beginning with the 2007 tax year.

Limits on the Charitable Contribution Deduction

Your charitable contribution tax deduction may be limited. There are limits specific to charitable contributions, and there are general limits on itemized deductions.

50%, 30%, and 20% Limits on Charitable Contributions

• Generally, you can deduct cash contributions in full up to 50% of your adjusted gross income.
• Generally, you can deduct property contributions in full up to 30% of your adjusted gross income.
• Generally, you can deduct contributions of appreciated capital gains assets in full up to 20% of your adjusted gross income.

Charitable contributions in excess of these limits can be carried over to the following tax year. The excess contributions can be carried over for a maximum of five years.

Not Tax Deductible Contributions

Contributions are not tax deductible if given to any of the following:

• Political parties, political campaigns, or political action committees.
• Contributions given to individual people.
• Fees or dues paid to professional associations.
• Contributions to labor unions, chambers of commerce, or business associations.
