The new tax plan approved by Congress at the end of 2017 nearly doubles the standard deduction for individuals and families. While that simplifies the filing process for millions of Americans, it will likely complicate the process for many who have made a habit of deducting their charitable contributions.
Under the new tax bill, the standard deduction will rise to $12,000 for individuals and $24,000 for married couples. That means many taxpayers who used to itemize deductions may find it’s no longer beneficial for them to do so because they won’t add up to as much as the new standard amount. People close to the cut-off may stop giving altogether, warn tax experts, which could hurt Madison donation centers like Agrace Hospice’s thrift stores.
