Charitable Deduction Expanded:
The CARES Act includes a provision that makes charitable contributions easier to deduct. Taxpayers can now deduct $300 of cash contributions to charity for those claiming the standard deduction. If deductions are itemized, then all charitable deductions are claimed as itemized deductions. This provision is permanent and is not just for the 2020 tax year.
