NYS Department of Taxation and Finance
The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance today reminded taxpayers to follow established guidelines when claiming charitable contributions on their personal income tax returns. Millions of New Yorkers donate to charities, especially around the holidays. In 2014, the most recent year for which tax data is available, more than two million New York taxpayers claimed $32.9 billion in charitable giving for a total tax savings of $599 million.
