Yes, you do. Donations are only tax-deductible if you itemize deductions on your tax return. When you file your taxes, you’ll need to itemize your donations on the Schedule A of the 1040 form.

Network for Good can help you keep track of your individual donations throughout the year with its innovative personal profile feature, which allows you to create a Donation History of the charities you have donated to, how much you’ve donated, and when.

Yes. Any donation you make on or by December 31, 2006 will qualify as a deduction for 2006. Any donations made in 2007 (even at 12:01 a.m. on New Year’s Day) go towards the 2007 tax year. So if you’re looking for a tax benefit for 2006, you’ll want to make that donation soon. The good news is that you can donate on Network for Good any day of the week, 24 hours a day. So it’s easy to get in that last-minute donation.

Absolutely! Every single charity featured on Network for Good qualifies for 501(c)(3) non-profit status from the IRS — and that means every donation you give counts as a tax-deductible donation.
