Limitation on itemized deductions. Starting with the 2013 tax year, the so-called Pease limitation on itemized deductions (named for the congressman who first introduced it) applies to charitable deductions. For 2017 most itemized deductions, including charitable deductions, are reduced by 3% of AGI over $261,500 for single filers and $313,800 for joint filers (up to a maximum total of 80% of nonexempt itemized deductions). The limitation is indexed for inflation and changes each year.
Donation Limitations. The limitations on how much you can write off on your taxes for charitable contributions are very high: Your total charitable deduction for the year can't exceed 50 percent of your adjusted gross income. For example, if your AGI is $45,000, you can't deduct more than $22,500 for all your charitable contributions put together. However, to claim the charitable donation deduction, you must itemize your deductions, which means your total deductions must exceed the standard deduction you are entitled to.
