What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill allows individuals to subtract charitable contributions that they make using cash, check, credit card, or similar payment type during the taxable year from their taxable income. The subtraction may only be made by individuals who claim the standard deduction for federal tax purposes. Under the bill, the subtraction is limited to $1,000, which is increased to $2,000 for married taxpayers filing a joint return. The subtraction is similar to the federal deduction in section
170
(p) of the Internal Revenue Code.
