Blystone & Bailey CPAs in Mount Pleasant, Canadian Lakes and Midland say that any cash, food or clothing donations can be counted on your tax return, with extra tax incentives available through the CARES Act this year.
“There’s an extra $300 deduction that everybody gets this year, I mean so long that you make a $300 charitable deduction.
