Thanks to each of you for your part in this victory. The tax forms for 1999 will include instructions and a line where nonitemizers can report their charitable giving for 1999. Nonprofits have an essential role to play in informing donors about this incentive to giving. MCN will launch an educational campaign in mid-1999 to support nonprofits in getting the word out. Now it is really true that charitable donations are tax deductible for all taxpayers.
People give because they believe in the work that an organization does.
Now they can give more, because the tax deduction is there for everyone.
