Individuals have some basic rules to follow to claim the tax savings, but they’re not alone. Charitable organizations benefiting from the generosity and thrift of Ohio ’s tax-savvy donors also have some basic rules to follow to ensure that their donors’ contributions qualify as tax-deductible.
By following Internal Revenue Service rules and through mutual support, taxpayers and charitable organizations both benefit.
