H.R. 3134
Charitable Giving Extension Act
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Ways and Means on May 29, 2014
H.R. 3134 would amend the Internal Revenue Code to permit individuals to deduct for a
taxable year charitable contributions made after the close of that taxable year but generally
not later than the subsequent April 15, the due date (determined without regard to
extensions) for the individual's income tax return for that taxable year. Under current law,
a charitable deduction is generally claimed on the tax return for the year in which the
contribution is made. Under H.R. 3134, if taxpayers elected to take such deductions for the
taxable year before the contribution was made, they could not then deduct the same
amounts again in the later year.
The staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) estimates that enacting H.R. 3134
would reduce revenues, thus increasing federal budget deficits, by about $2.8 billion over
the 2014-2024 period.
The Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 establishes budget-reporting and enforcement
procedures for legislation affecting direct spending and revenues. Enacting H.R. 3134
would result in revenue losses in each year beginning in 2015. The estimated increases in
the deficit are shown in the following table.
JCT has determined that the bill contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates
as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Logan Timmerhoff. The estimate was approved
by David Weiner, Assistant Director for Tax Analysis.
