Tax-year basis
The selected tax year identifies the AGI and contribution-limit assumptions. Percentage limits remain editable and must be verified for the gift facts.
How to interpret this result
Cash and noncash gifts are limited separately using the entered AGI percentages. The total estimated deduction is the sum of the two allowable amounts; estimated tax savings multiply that deduction by the entered marginal rate.
Applicability and limits
This is an itemized-deduction planning estimate. It assumes the gifts are otherwise eligible and does not determine qualified-recipient status, substantiation, appraisal requirements, property basis, AGI definitions, carryovers, itemization choice, or special temporary limits.
Calculation basis
Cash limit amount = AGI × cash limit percentage. Noncash limit amount = AGI × noncash limit percentage. Allowable cash/noncash deduction = min(gift amount, corresponding limit). Total deduction = allowable cash + allowable noncash. Estimated savings = total deduction × marginal tax rate.

What to check

  • A taxpayer enters income, expenses, contribution, eligibility, and limit assumptions to estimate a credit or deduction before filing.
  • Use it when comparing a potential credit or deduction with the supplied tax-year facts.
  • This is an itemized-deduction planning estimate. It assumes the gifts are otherwise eligible and does not determine qualified-recipient status, substantiation, appraisal requirements, property basis, AGI definitions, carryovers, itemization choice, or special temporary limits.
