Is it worth tracking donations on standard deduction?
My wife and I filed jointly for the first time this year and didn’t track our donations last year. This year we have tracked our donations thus far (all goods donations to local shelters). We weren’t even close to it being better to itemize when we filed this year (standard got us back like $6k more than itemized would’ve).
From what I’ve read online, there seems to be no benefit of us tracking our donations (probably in the $500-$1k range) since it won’t have any tax implications, but just wanted to verify before we stopped tracking
