really wish there were examples with numbers to make things clear. Example (not sure if this is true or not): 1. You have $100k, you are taxed $30k normally, you are left with $70k take home. 2. You have $100k, you donate $20k and get XX tax deduction and only have to pay $5k in taxes, you are left with $75k take home, thus it is more beneficial to donate.
Hey, the rules change based on what you donate (cash or non-cash) and your AGI - so one example is likely not helpful to the masses. There are a few online charitable tax calculators out there that may be able to help you with your specific situation.
@@LYFEAccounting non cash donations. I am moving my house and donating a bunch of stuff that i wont need in the next location. It is good to know that I can get some deductions with these...
I like the video & information. One thing you can work on or the video I must say, is just lowering the background music just a little. My adhd Ming was taken over by it.
So if I make $10 M for my gross adjusted income and half gets taxed right off the bat, if I donate the entire $5 M, will I get $5 M back come tax season? Provided I don’t exceed the cap.

Go fund me ? I'm thinking of donating in the donators name to a go fund me account for the person it's for so that I can garantee the possibility of using it as tax deduction? Like setting up coin jars at local bodega with info on it and when the money is collected donate it directly to go fund me in that company name will they be able to utilize that ?
Okay so I bought a charity item for $695 and got a federal tax receipt. I added the amount on turbotax but it didn't deduct it from my tax total. And it didn't ask for proof so what should I do there?
My friend, concerning charitable donation under standard deduction. I understand the $300 limit. What I am not sure about is the noncash donation. In other words, can I make noncash donation to qualified charities? Thx

Hello, please help me. I am a teacher from Syria. My salary is weak because of the war and the devaluation of the currency, as my salary does not exceed twenty dollars. Please help me please
I am donating a service from my small business to a nonprofit (character entertainment). What do I need to ask the organization to provide to me so I can fill out the tax forms to deduct it? I have been looking online and can not find an answer and do not want to sound stupid to the organization. We have been in operation for several years and have donated hundreds of hours that we never claimed on our taxes. I want to change that this year. Should I ask for an identification number or something for the form I found on the IRS website? Our services are approximately $100-$500 each time.
@@Nikki-bk1wf Who said this was about me. I'm trying to understand this concept. I keep hearing about how Rich people donate large amount of money to avoid paying taxes. So my understanding right now is that, the donor actually do not benefit anything, rather he/she just have a choice whether to give the money to the government or to a charity, but at the end of the day, he/she will still lose the same amount of money?
I'm confused. If you buy a charity ticket for $1k and the charity states $900 is tax deductible, you file single and exceed $100k in annual income, is your net out of pocket cost for the charity event $100?
Happy to help. Deductions only reduce your taxable income. How much you you save depends on your tax bracket. You are thinking of a tax credit which reduces the actual tax you pay. Does that clear it up for you?
My boss pays me cash but as a sub contractor pay can I make sandwiches and buy cheap clothes and make these care packages for the homeless and write that off?
Hi Sir , I have question for my tax filing, it is according to the Tithe to the church is cash below $5,000, i don't know which Form for deduction ? how much is accepted ? I have receipt from organization. thanks

Great video and informational as usual...How about some info on Gifts for the 2021 year
Hey Mark! Great suggestion.
I like the video & information. One thing you can work on or the video I must say, is just lowering the background music just a little.
My adhd Ming was taken over by it.
Thanks for the suggestion, Jorge! We've since removed the noises in our most recent videos. 😄
3:50 how to claim
Good info got to kill the background noise though
Great video! Would you guys be interested in talking on a podcast?
In the future, definitely!
Good content man!
Does this rule apply to Schedule C as sole proprietors, or can we deduct the full amount as business expense?

How do I give a home that needs renovation to a charity. The house is paid for, but taxes are owed?
Hey so I want to give out $1000 once a year to one child at my local Salvation Army community center . Does that act qualify?
Are cash donations to a church only eligible to be claimed on state tax? Or can I use it on the federal portion too?
Good question. You can deduct charitable donations on your federal as well.
So basically you can double it👀
@@jamallewis3113 did u get any verification on the double??
Need better audio! Hard to hear over the echo :(
Can self employed people deduct from donating as well?

What if you donate from your savings or social security payments, but your income is therefore zero, yet u pay property taxes?

Sounds like him too 🤣🤣 he needs to rap this‼️🤣🤣
Can you donate to your own organization?
I still don't understand how donating and tax deductible works. So if I donate $100, then I will pay $100 less for my yearly tax?
Essentially yeah as long as you don’t take the standard deduction
@@Matthew-dm3wv But I don't understand how this will help me since I still lose $100.
@@RemixN007 I think it just gives you more control of where your tax money goes. It can all go to Uncle Sam or mostly to a cause.
