GAAP Episode 050 – Charitable Giving Changes in 2026

Somehow, we’ve hit our 50^th episode (which dovetails nicely with our upcoming 50^th anniversary)! Thanks to all of you for listening and tolerating our bad puns and worse jokes. We hope you were also able to learn a little something along the way.

For our 50^th episode, we’ve got a guest who’s new to the podcast. Preston Mackey is an EA, client manager, and manager of our Gillette branch. Preston talks about how charitable giving rules have changed for 2026. He hits on the new charitable deduction available to certain taxpayers who don’t itemize, the new limitation affecting itemized charitable deductions, and several common questions about qualifying gifts and organizations, and donation documentation.

So, for the 50^th time, listen in to learn more!
