"Can I claim charitable donations on my taxes?"

Yes, you can claim charitable donations on your taxes if you itemize your deductions. Charitable donations are considered tax-deductible contributions, which can reduce your taxable income and lower your tax bill. To qualify for a deduction, your donation should be made to a qualified charitable organization. The IRS maintains a list of such organizations that are eligible to receive tax-deductible donations.

It's important to note that there are limitations and exceptions to claiming charitable donations on your taxes. For instance, you can only claim donations made during the tax year in which you are filing your taxes. Additionally, there may be limits on the amount of charitable donations you can deduct, depending on your income and the type of organization you are donating to.

To ensure that you are claiming your charitable donations correctly and maximizing your deduction, consider consulting with a tax professional or seeking assistance from the IRS or a nonprofit organization. They can provide you with more specific guidance and help you navigate any applicable tax laws or regulations.
