What amount can Archie and Tina deduct as a charitable contribution

Answer 1

The amount that Archie and Tina can deduct as a charitable contribution without itemizing their deductions is $600.

Data and Calculations:

Archie's earnings =$32,000

Tina's earnings = $24,000

The Reynolds' dependent children = Laura and Timothy

Total charitable deductions for 2021 = $1,700

Limit allowed per couple without itemization of deductibles = $300

The total charitable deductions allowed for the Reynolds = $600 ($300 x 2).

Thus, the amount that Archie and Tina can deduct as a charitable contribution without itemizing their deductions is $600.
