Bill overview
This bill, the Universal Charitable Giving Act of 2019, would allow most taxpayers to deduct charitable donations from their gross income, even if they don't itemize deductions on their tax returns. This ‘above-the-line’ deduction could be up to one-third of the standard deduction amount. The goal is to encourage more charitable giving by making it easier for people to reduce their tax liability. The changes would take effect for tax years starting after the bill becomes law.
