The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 includes two beneficial provisions that are set to expire on December 31, absent further legislation. You can still take advantage of these benefits by making a year-end gift:

  • If you don’t plan on itemizing deductions on your 2021 tax return, you can still take a charitable income tax deduction for cash gifts to TRC and other public charities. The 2021 deduction is $300 for single filers and $600 for married couples filing jointly.
  • If you do itemize, you can deduct cash gifts up to 100% of your adjusted gross income in 2021 (this will return to 60%  after 2021).
