You may deduct a maximum of up to 50% of your adjusted gross income (AGI) (Line 36 on IRS Form 1040) for the tax year the donation was given. However, if you give more than 50%, the excess may be carried forward for up to five years.
The $250 limit applies to the amount of each contribution. For example, if you donate $100 every week to your temple using a chack, you can prove the deduction with canceled checks. However, if you make just one $300 cash donation, you can't claim the donation as a deduction without a receipt.or example, if you leave a donation of clothing valued at $100 at a charity's drop box, you can claim a deduction even without a receipt.
