Here is the tax benefit break down for those taking standard deductions, itemized deductions and corporate giving:

Standard Deduction
For people who take the standard deduction, the CARES ACT allows you to take a tax deduction for contributions made to qualified charitable entities up to $300 per year in 2022 – this deduction is “above-the-line.” The 2021 Standard deduction is $12,400 for individuals and $24,800 for married couples filing jointly. Therefore, any donation to qualifying charities of up to $300 will be added to the standard rate of deduction. This deduction applies for 2021 and beyond.

Itemized Deduction
For people who file for itemized deductions, the CARES ACT allows you to take a tax deduction of up to 100% of your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) for contributions to qualifying charities in 2021. The law temporarily lifts the limits on charitable giving from 60% of a taxpayer’s AGI to 100% for 2021.

Corporate Donations
For corporate donors, the CARES ACT allows an entity to take a tax deduction of up to 25% of their Adjusted Tax Income for contributions to qualifying charities in 2021. The law temporarily lifts the limits from 10% of adjusted taxable income to 25% for 2021.
