As the end of the year approaches, those considering charitable donations are reminded of additional tax benefits due to COVID-19 relief passed by congress. Brett Nikkel is a Professional CPA with Van Maanen, Sietstra, Meyer & Nikkel, and says up to $300 can be deducted without itemizing a tax return for single filers and twice as much for joint filers. Nikkel says to save all receipts from donations, which don’t have to include much, and any certified non-profit organization will provide proof of a deductible donation. Those who want to take advantage of the benefit need to make donations by December 31st.
