tax Savings with Deductions
The Internal Revenue Code 170(e)(3) (PDF, 253 KB) of 2011 provides enhanced tax deductions to businesses. This encourages donations of fit and wholesome food to qualified nonprofits. In particular, it encourages ones that serve the poor and needy. Qualified business taxpayers can deduct the cost to produce the food. They can then half the difference between the cost and full fair market value of the donated food. In December 2015, the U.S. Congress passed the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act. This extended the enhanced tax deductions to all businesses: including C-corporations, S-corporations, limited liability corporations (LLCs), partnerships, and sole proprietorships.
The law now permits C corporations to apply an increased limit (Increased Corporate Limit) of 25% of taxable income for charitable contributions of cash. This only applies to eligible charities during calendar-year 2021. Normally, the maximum allowable deduction is limited to 10% of a corporation’s taxable income.
Again, the Increased Corporate Limit does not automatically apply. C corporations must elect the Increased Corporate Limit on a contribution-by-contribution basis.
