New Non-Itemizer Charitable Deduction
More people will be able to deduct their charitable gifts in 2026 because we now have a charitable tax deduction available for people who don’t use itemized deductions on their tax returns. A charitable deduction up to $1,000 is available on a tax return filed by a single individual while a married couple filing jointly can get up to $2,000 as a charitable deduction. Please consider The Watkins Island Foundation, Inc. in your charitable giving.
