Charitable donations
Charitable donations made by you or your spouse during the year
should normally be added together and claimed on the income tax
return of one spouse. A higher credit is available when total
donations exceed $200, so it makes more sense to combine the
donations and claim them on one return. If your total donations are
less than $200 there is no advantage to claiming them on one
return. The key to supporting your claim is to keep the official
tax receipts.
