The charitable giving landscape is set for its most significant tax overhaul in a decade. Starting this year, new federal tax rules — enacted via the big GOP/Trump tax and spending bill — change how nearly every American taxpayer can deduct contributions on federal returns.
For instance, a new tax break allows those who claim the 2026 standard deduction to deduct charitable giving donations. At the same time, new rules limit how the itemized charitable deduction reduces taxes for high earners.
