Fix The Tax Code Friday: Charitable Deductions For Non-Itemizers

Kelly Phillips ErbNovember 3, 2006December 27, 2019

It’s Fix the Tax Code Friday! Traditionally, charitable deductions have been limited to itemizers (meaning those who opt to take the itemized deduction rather than rely on the standard deduction). From time to time, Congress has considered extending the deduction to non-itemizers as a credit.

This week’s question:

If Congress did extend the deduction to non-itemizers, should there be a limit on the amount of deduction available? If so, how much? $100? $500? $1000?
