How to Deduct a Charitable Donation
We are a 501 (c)(3) organization. Our tax ID number is
91-1648462.
- Ensure the organization is 501(c)(3) approved: Verify that the charity is recognized by the IRS as a tax-exempt organization. You can use the IRS's Tax Exempt Organization Search tool.
- Keep a record of your donation: Obtain a receipt or written acknowledgment from the charity, including the organization’s name, the date, and the amount donated. For donations of $250 or more, a written acknowledgment is required.
- Determine the value of non-cash donations: If you donate goods, ensure you estimate their fair market value, and keep a record (e.g., receipts, photos).
- Itemize your deductions: To claim a charitable donation, you must itemize your deductions on your tax return using Schedule A (Form 1040).
- Report the donation on your tax return: Enter the total of your charitable contributions on the appropriate line of Schedule A. For larger donations, you may need additional forms (e.g., Form 8283 for non-cash donations over $500).
- Consult a tax professional: If you're unsure about the process or have large donations, consider consulting a tax professional to ensure you're maximizing your deduction.
