New income tax regulations will take effect in 2018 that could offset your charitable deduction. If you normally itemize deductions on Schedule A on your tax return, you may find yourself electing to use the new standard deduction rather than itemizing deductions. This could impact your charitable allowance in 2018 and beyond. Single taxpayers will see a standard deduction increase $6,350 to $12,000, and couples will enjoy an increased standard deduction from $12,700 to $24,000. If these tax changes impact you, consider reviewing your philanthropy planning and explore how an accelerated donation before the end of 2017 could impact you. As usual, please consult a tax professional while considering this question.
