2026 Charitable Gift Income Tax Deduction for Non-Itemizers

Starting in 2026, taxpayers who use the standard deduction can claim an income tax deduction for gifts to 501(c)(3) charitable organizations. You no longer need to be part of the 10% of taxpayers who itemize income tax deductions to take advantage of your charitable gifts on your income tax returns. If you are one of the roughly 90% of taxpayers who use the standard deduction, you can claim an additional “above-the-line” deduction for your charitable contributions. All taxpayers can lower their income tax bill by supporting their favorite charities.

Navigating Pet Loss: Support, Healing, and Honoring the Bond

Losing a pet is never easy. Whether they were by your side for one year or fifteen, their absence leaves an undeniable void.
