Charitable Contributions: The Itemized Deduction Cap and Other FY2011 Budget Options (open access)

Charitable Contributions: The Itemized Deduction Cap and Other FY2011 Budget Options

The Administration's 2010 and 2011 budget outlines contain a proposal to cap the value of itemized deductions at 28%, for high-income taxpayers. In the 2010 proposal, the expected revenue was dedicated to addressing health care issues; as other sources are expected to finance health care, the proposal is now part of the increased taxes on upper-income taxpayers. This report contains information on the comparisons to past tax changes, estimated effects on aggregate charitable giving, effects by types of charitable objectives, estate tax issues, historical changes in the estate tax, effects of changes in the estate tax by types of charitable objectives, policy options, and related information and figures.

The Magnitude of Changes That Would Be Required to Balance the FY2011 Budget

This report lays out generic scenarios for balancing the budget in the next fiscal year. Although these are not policy options that are likely to be enacted, they are meant to offer simple examples to gauge the scope of tradeoffs that would be required if policymakers eventually decide to bring the budget back to balance. If changes are postponed or stretched over a longer time period, they would need to be larger because of higher debt service.
