Publication 526, Charitable Contributions, provides detailed information on claiming deductions and the deduction limits. It also describes the types of organizations that are qualified to receive tax deductible contributions. Publication 526 is available online at www.irs.gov or by calling (800) 829-3676 (toll-free).
