Tax Deduction Information
New Image is not responsible for the accuracy of the following information. Please check with your own tax advisor.
What You Can Deduct
As long as you itemize on your tax return, you may deduct gifts to religious or charitable organizations, such as churches and synagogues and groups like the Boy Scouts, Red Cross, and YM/YWCA. You also may deduct contributions made to scientific, literary, and educational organizations, as well as to organizations devoted to the prevention of cruelty to children or animals or those that foster amateur sports competitions.
Deductible gifts to nonprofit can take many forms. You can deduct cash contributions up to 50 percent of your adjusted gross income (AGI), and any excess contributions can be carried forward for up to five years. You also can make donations of property -- from used clothing, to furniture, to computer equipment -- and earn tax deductions. When you donate property, your deduction is generally equal to the fair market value of the property at the time you give it, not its original cost.
To make the most of your charitable contributions, consider donating appreciated capital gains property that you've owned for more than a year, such as shares of stock or a mutual fund. When you donate long-term property that has appreciated in value, you generally earn a deduction for the property's fair market value and never have to pay capital gains tax on its appreciation. Contributions of appreciated capital gains property are generally limited to 30 percent of your adjusted gross income.
