26. Advocacy Charitable Deductions
Under current law, that would amount to a deduction of up to $2,100/individual and $4,200/couple.
If Congress nearly doubles the standard deduction, as proposed in the Unified Tax Reform Framework released last month, then the non-itemizer deduction would rise to $4,000/individual and $8,000/couple.

27. Advocacy
The challenge is that by increasing the standard deduction, the framework effectively shuts out 95 percent of Americans from this vital incentive to give to support the work of nonprofits because the share of taxpayers who itemize is expected to drop to only five percent
Experts calculate that the approach in the framework could result in a drop in giving by anywhere from $13 billion to $26 billion per year

28. Advocacy
Legislation to create a charitable giving deduction for taxpayers who take the standard deduction and do not itemize has been introduced
The bill, Universal Charitable Giving Act would allow taxpayers who take the standard deduction to also deduct charitable donations in an amount up to one-third of the amount of the standard deduction.

29. Charitable Deductions
