Charitable Donations Income Tax Question

Charitable Donations Income Tax Question

Can I claim part of my charitable donations made in 2011 on my 2012 taxes instead of claiming all of them in 2011?

I recently donated quite a few items in Kansas before relocating to Washington, and now have more donations to make in Washington.

I don't want to exceed the $500 max donation amount to avoid having to file additional paperwork so want to claim the additional donations made in Washington on next year's claim.

You are only supposed to claim income and expenses or deductions such as charitable donations in the year they happened, so unfortunately you are not allowed to claim a portion of your 2011 charitable donations in 2012.
