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.
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.
