As the end of the year approaches, those considering charitable donations are reminded of additional tax benefits due to the CARES Act passed by congress. Brett Nikkel is a Professional CPA with Van Maanen, Sietstra, Meyer & Nikkel, and says up to $300 can be deducted without itemizing a tax return in 2020. Nikkel says to save all receipts from donations, and that any qualified non-profit organization will provide proof of a deductible donation. Those who want to take advantage of the benefit need to make donations by December 31st.
