According to current tax laws, you are able to deduct up to 50% of your AGI. If donations exceeds that amount, the additional amount can be carried over and applied to the following 5 yrs tax returns. Since Ida's AGI IS 42,300 and 50% far exceeds her donation of $500.00. she will be able to deduct the entire amount.
