Average charitable donations by income. The short answer is that the average itemized tax return includes $4,790 in charitable deductions, but that doesn't tell the entire story. First, not everyone who donates to charity can use the charitable deduction. To get the tax break, you need to itemize deductions on your tax return.
The number displayed for one kind of deduction is the average for all returns at that income level that claim that particular deduction. Consider the $26,587 medical deduction average on $300,000 returns. Very few taxpayers even claim this deduction, because it is available only to the extent medical costs exceed a floor amount. The average is for the 1 in 35 returns where thereâs at least one dollar of medical costs above the floor. My numbers are based on returns filed for the 2011 tax year. They lump all kinds of returns (married joint, married separate, single, head of household) together at each level of adjusted gross income.
