Important 2026 Tax Update
Above-the-Line Charitable Deduction (Non-Itemizers)
- Even if you take the standard deduction, you may still be eligible to claim an additional charitable deduction for cash gifts to qualified charities:

- Up to $2,000 for married couples filing jointly
- This is a simple way for many donors to support a mission they care about while receiving a tax benefit.

- QCD gifts can also satisfy Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs).
- Important: The distribution must be sent directly from your IRA custodian/broker to Solo Parent (checks should be issued by the custodian, not from a personal account).
