As of January 1, 2023, all Massachusetts taxpayers may now deduct charitable contributions on their state return. If you cannot itemize and receive a deduction for charitable contributions on your federal return, you will still be eligible to receive a deduction on your state return. The new deduction is available for contributions made to qualifying nonprofits based in Massachusetts or out of state. Note that contributions must meet the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 170.
AAFCPAs has advised clients that the new charitable contribution deduction may act as an incentive to encourage giving. Taxpayers planning to claim the deduction should retain the same documentation they would were they claiming the federal deduction, such as a donation letter or receipt. Though the deduction has been postponed for several years, the Massachusetts Department of Revenue has not announced any further extension. AAFCPAs will monitor legislation and provide updates as appropriate.
If you have questions, please contact Daniel Seaman, CPA, Tax Partner at 774.512.4025 or dseaman@aafcpa.com or your AAFCPAs tax advisor.
