We have some super exciting news at the Zager Group! We have recently started the Zager Foundation and will be working on community improvement projects and donating to charities around the lake. Effective immediately, a portion of every sale will be donated to a local charity that has a proven track record for improving the lives of local kids, families, animals or the environment. We will be letting our clients choose the charity and making the donation in their name. We are featuring a few here and are open to adding more so please reach out if you have a charity or charitable project that is close to your heart!
Tax Deductible Donations
Tax deductible donations can significantly reduce your taxable income while helping a cause that you are passionate about and improving the community we live in. Tax deductible donations are contributions of money or goods (or expenses for volunteering) to a tax-exempt organization. Did you know that you can deduct up to 60% of your income?! For 2022 taxes, single filers can claim a $12,950 standard deduction, and married couples can claim a $25,900 standard deduction without having to itemize on your taxes. If itemized, you can deduct up to 60% of your adjusted gross income. We’ll go over how to claim charitable donations and tips for additional savings next week. Here are some local charities that we are excited to support:
