几乎没有什么免税的贡献

我们去年捐了1000多,最后算下来都没用

if you use itemized deduction, yes.

if you use standard deduction. no use.

I am using itemized deduction.

Could you please give more detailed instruction?

Thanks

I guess my instructions can not be more detailed thant the 1040 instructions. besides, I never use the donation deduction myself before.

please read and follow form 1040 instructions carefully and keep your receipts for reference.

我也是用itmized deduction，但是还是低于standard deduction，所以最终等于没有抵税，我的理解是除非你的捐款数额很大

btw，我用的是turbotax算的，手动怎么最大化利益我就不太知道了

如果你没有房贷利息 和 地皮税 一般你都用不上itmized deduction

因为其他的支出很难达到那么高的金额

that is generally true. However, if you bought a new car, had a big loss, or paid a lot for your tuition (like MBA), etc. this year, you might get more from itermized deduction
