Beginning with the 2026 tax year, giving back comes with an added benefit. Taxpayers who take the standard deduction may be eligible to claim a tax deduction for charitable giving, making it easier than ever to support the causes they care about.
This new federal tax rule may allow those who take the standard deduction to claim a tax deduction for charitable giving.* This is known as an “above-the-line deduction,” meaning this deduction applies in addition to the standard deduction, designed to give everyday donors meaningful incentive to give back.
