Your comment is exactly one of the reasons that I think that charitable donations should be 'above the line' and not subject to itemization. If the point of the deduction is to encourage charitable donations, then why not make it an incentive for all. Statistically, most donations are given by the poor and the very wealthy - those that wouldn't be able to take the deduction. Thanks!

Even better luck in collecting donations. I would donate, however I do not have enough deductions to justify itemizing. Much like the mom who is too poor to claim a credit. I'm too poor to claim a deduction. :( Good luck in the race. Even better luck in collecting donations. I would donate, however I do not have enough deductions to justify itemizing.
