How do I claim my donation against my taxes?

The following is from the Canada Revenue Agency website:
http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/chrts-gvng/dnrs/svngs/clmng1-eng.html

Generally, you can claim all or part of the eligible amount up to a limit of 75% of your net income. For gifts of certified cultural property or ecologically sensitive land, you may be able to claim up to 100% of your net income (see Line 232 ).

Donations made by December 31 of this year can be claimed for the current year.
You do not have to claim all of the donations you made this year on your current-year return. You can carry forward any donations you do not claim in the current year and claim them on your return for any of the next five years. You can only claim the amount of the donations once.

You have to claim tax credits for gifts you carried forward from a previous year before you claim tax credits for gifts in the current year. If you are claiming a carry forward, attach a note to your return indicating the year of the return with which you submitted the official donation receipt, the portion of the eligible amount you are claiming this year, and the amount you are carrying forward.

You may include unclaimed donations made by your spouse or common-law partner.

Your charitable claim earns you both a federal and provincial/territorial tax credit.
There are two charitable tax credit rates for both the federal government and the provinces and territories. An eligible amount you give above $200 qualifies you for a higher rate.

For more information regarding this or any other concerns about tax receipts, please visit the Canada Revenue Agency website: http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/chrts-gvng/menu-eng.html

Why do you use CanadaHelps.org?
