COVID-19 Bill Adds Momentum to Expand Donor Incentives

Colinvaux said in an email that it was hard to predict how much the crisis will affect taxpayer behavior, but he added that economic uncertainty would ensure that “charitable giving budgets for this year undoubtedly will take a hit.” In the future, he said, lawmakers could explore a different approach, such as setting a $250 donation threshold, or floor, with an above-the-line deduction for the next $300 in charitable gifts.
