2026 Charitable Tax Incentives 

Starting with the 2026 tax year, significant changes affect how you can deduct your donations: 

  • Non-Itemizer Deduction: Individual taxpayers who take the standard deduction can now deduct up to $1,000 for cash contributions. Married couples filing jointly can deduct up to $2,000. These are "above-the-line" deductions that reduce your adjusted gross income (AGI) without requiring Schedule A itemization.
  • Itemizer Floor: For those who itemize, a new rule requires total charitable gifts to exceed 0.5% of your AGI before they become deductible.
  • High-Earner Cap: Taxpayers in the highest tax bracket (37%) will see their federal tax benefit from deductions capped at approximately 35%. 

Tax-Advantaged Giving Strategies

  • Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs): If you are 70½ or older, you can transfer up to $111,000 annually directly from your IRA to EVA of Ohio. This counts toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) and is excluded from your taxable income, which may be more tax-efficient than a standard deduction.
  • Appreciated Capital Assets: Donating securities (stocks, bonds) or cryptocurrency held for more than one year allows you to deduct the full fair-market value and avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciation.
  • Estate Planning: You can include EVA of Ohio in your will or trust as a charitable bequest to create a lasting legacy.
