1 U.S. Senate & House of Representatives Tax Cuts and Jobs Act Proposals Relevant to Charitable Donors December 14, 2017
2 Overview These charts review the tax proposals most relevant to charitable donors in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed, by the House of Representatives (referred to as the House Tax Bill ) and the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed by the U.S. Senate on, (referred to as the Senate Tax Bill ). The charts also compare the proposed changes to current law. The backdrop: Republican Congressional leadership and President Trump are aiming for the completion of tax reform before year end. Congress will need to reconcile the two versions of the bills before a final bill can be brought to a vote in each house. The two versions differ in significant ways, and reconciling the bills may take significant time and effort. New provisions could be added to the bill as part of the reconciliation process. Congress must also address a spending bill before the year end. The summaries in this chart must be considered against the background of a fluid and changing situation. Significant provisions of the new House and Senate Tax Bills relevant to donors: The House and Senate Tax Bills have retained the charitable contribution deduction. However, the tax advantages of charitable giving would be impacted by rate reductions and changes to other itemized deductions and the standard deduction. Most of the provisions of the House Tax Bill and the Senate Tax Bill would become effective for tax years beginning after However, many of the Senate Tax Bill s provisions, including the changes to the charitable deduction, tax rates, and other deductions, would expire after The law would then revert back to current law. Both the House and Senate Tax Bills provide for an enhanced charitable contribution deduction for gifts of cash to public charities, limiting the deduction to 60% of adjusted gross income (AGI), rather than the current limit of 50%. Both bills would eliminate the current deduction for contributions in exchange for the donor s seating rights at college and university athletic events. The House Tax Bill revises the charitable mileage deduction, allowing the inclusion of variable costs of operation of the vehicle, such as gas and oil, directly related to the charitable use. Both bills repeal the existing exception from the substantiation requirement of a contemporaneous written acknowledgement in order for a donation to be deductible, under which the donee organization may instead file a return containing the same information as would be in the acknowledgement. The use and value of the charitable deduction to donors may be impacted in several ways by the tax bills. As a consequence of the increased standard deduction and the elimination of many itemized deductions, many donors would no longer be able to itemize deductions meaning they would no longer receive a federal income tax benefit from charitable giving. But for those donors who could still itemize, itemized deductions would no longer be subject to the itemized deduction phaseout, currently applicable to high income taxpayers. Finally, the tax savings from the charitable contribution deduction could also be less, due to the lower tax rates. 2
3 Overview (cont d) The changes that could impact whether a donor will be able to itemize deductions and the potential tax savings from it are described below. The House Tax Bill would replace the current seven individual tax brackets with four brackets ranging from 12% to 39.6%, while the Senate Tax Bill would keep seven tax brackets with rates ranging from 10% to 38.5%. Neither bill contains any changes to the capital gains tax, net investment income tax, or the Medicare Surtax. Both bills would nearly double the standard deduction for taxpayers. Itemized deductions are mainly limited to mortgage interest, real estate taxes, and charitable contributions in the House Tax Bill. Both bills eliminate the deductions for state and local income taxes and sales taxes, and limit deductions for real estate taxes to $10,000. The Senate Tax Bill largely retains the home mortgage interest deduction, while the House Tax Bill would significantly limit it. Each bill repeals the deduction for home equity interest. Both tax bills contain many other provisions that affect numerous other deductions and credits for individuals. The Senate Tax Bill disallows the specific identification method for sale of stock (or donative transfers to family or charity) and requires transfers to be made on a First-in-First-out (FIFO) basis. The Senate Tax Bill retains the estate, gift, and generation-skipping transfer (GST) tax for larger estates (doubling the exemptions), while the House Tax Bill would initially double the exemptions and then later repeal the estate tax and the GST. Like many of the income tax provisions, the Senate Tax Bill transfer tax changes terminate after 2025 and revert back to current law. Heirs will continue to have a fair market value basis in inherited assets under both bills, and the gift tax remains in place. Neither bill changes the current law provisions allowing a charitable deduction from estate and gift tax and treating charitable transfers as not subject to the GST tax. With the increased exemptions, far fewer taxpayers would be subject to the estate, gift, or GST tax, and none would be after 2024 under the House Tax Bill. Thus, fewer donors than under current law would have a transfer tax benefit from charitable giving. The elimination of tax incentives for charitable giving for many donors, of course, may also significantly affect the charitable recipients. For charities that typically receive smaller donations from donors who don t itemize deductions, and are not subject to the federal estate tax under current law, there should be limited impact. But charities who receive substantial funding from donors losing the ability to itemize, or who would no longer be subject to the estate tax, could see donations reduced. On the other hand, charities working with donors who would have been subject to the itemized deduction phase-out or the 50% AGI limit may see heightened giving from donors who can create even more tax-effective gifts. 3
