Thank you for your time and outreach to support this important legislation.
The bipartisan Charitable Act (S. 317/H.R. 801) proposes to retore and expand the charitable deduction for non-itemizers for two years. It would set the cap at approximately $5,000 for individuals or $10,000 for joint filers, providing additional incentive for charitable giving. This will help the more than 90% of Americans that don’t itemize and take the standard deduction.
