Interplay Between the Limitations on Deductions for Contributions to Public Charities and Private Foundations. As previously discussed, the income tax charitable deduction for contributions of long-term capital gain property to a public charity is subject to a limit of 30 percent of the donorâs contribution base. This limit is reduced to 20 percent in the case of such contributions to a private foundation.
For most people, the limits on charitable contributions don't apply. Only if you contribute more than 20% of your adjusted gross income to charity is it necessary to be concerned about donation limits. If the contribution is made to a public charity, the deduction is limited to 50% of your contribution base. For example, if you have an adjusted gross income of $100,000, your deduction limit for that year is $50,000. The rules on 20% limits and 30% limits are way too complicated to delve into in this space.
