In 2023, you can deduct up to 60% of your adjusted gross income (AGI) through charitable deductions. This includes not only cash donations but also donations of property such as clothing or household goods. You can also donate appreciated assets like stocks, ETFs, or mutual funds, which allows you to avoid paying capital gains tax on the appreciation while still receiving a tax deduction for the full value of the asset. The limit for deducting charitable donations of appreciated assets is 30% of your AGI.
With the recent 2023 IRS updates and personal changes like a new job, home, or medical expense, it's a smart time to tune up your tax strategy. This is where Daffy comes in.
