$300 allowance for cash gifts to WCN for those who take the standard deduction:
For those who generally take the standard deduction, instead of itemizing deductions, for their income taxes, the CARES Act allows for an additional deduction of up to $300 for cash gifts to nonprofits like WCN.
100% deductibility for cash gifts for those who itemize
For those who generally itemize their deductions for their income taxes, the CARES Act raised the limit on the deductibility of charitable donations, increasing it from 60% of adjusted gross income (AGI) to 100% of AGI for cash gifts to nonprofits like WCN.
