Summary of Bill S 317

Bill 119 s 317, also known as the Charitable Giving Tax Deduction Act, aims to make changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 in order to expand and prolong the deduction for charitable contributions for individuals who do not itemize their deductions on their tax returns.

Currently, individuals who do not itemize their deductions are not able to claim a deduction for charitable contributions on their taxes. This bill seeks to change that by allowing these individuals to deduct charitable contributions from their taxable income, even if they do not itemize their deductions.

The bill also aims to extend the time period for which this deduction can be claimed, providing individuals with more flexibility in when they can claim their charitable contributions on their taxes. Overall, the Charitable Giving Tax Deduction Act is designed to incentivize charitable giving among individuals who do not typically itemize their deductions, ultimately encouraging more donations to charitable organizations and causes.
