- Just a couple questions on charitable contributions deductions, e.g.
- Church groups, Boy Scouts, Salvation Army, etc.
-
- 1) Can one list these deductions on form 1040A, or is the 1040
- necessary?
-
- 2) Do these contributions have to amount to more than 2% of adjusted
- gross income, in whole or in part? I have heard that certain deductibles
- now require that they be at least at this 2% level. Does this now
- hold for charitable contributions as well?
-
- Thanks ahead of time,
-
