Individuals who claim the standard deduction, rather than itemized deductions on their federal income tax returns, may claim a subtraction for charitable contributions they make during the tax year. The subtraction is allowed only for the aggregate amount of charitable contributions in excess of $500. Charitable contributions must qualify for deduction under federal law to be eligible for subtraction. For additional information, please see Department publication Income Tax Topics: Charitable Contributions .
