New giving opportunity for non-itemizers

Your gift to SDMA, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, may now qualify for a tax deduction even if you don’t itemize. Starting in 2026, taxpayers can claim up to $1,000 in cash gifts to nonprofits ($2,000 for married couples filing jointly)—and this deduction is now permanent. Check with your tax professional for more information.
