Are Canadian donations tax deductible in the US?

Is the amount of tax deductible donations cumulative or singular?

  • I am making several mid-size (in my world $20-50) donations to various charities and organizations. The amount stated in tax policies for donations to mean anything in tax world looks like $250 - is this a cumulative or singular number? -Any help is appreciated, thanks.

  • Answer:

    It is a singular number, and what it refers to is if you give $250 or more at one time to a charitable organization they are supposed to give you a letter indicating how much your contribution was. You could give 5 checks for $100 each to the same organization and the $250 rule does not apply, but if you gave 1 check for $251, then it would. I have attached a link that talks about the $250 rule, and also a link to an IRS publications for the rules for charitable contributions for 2007.

I don't understand question. What country's tax codes are we talking about. Do you mean are donations added up to make 1 (one) number, or is the $250 amount increased with each donation?
