A bipartisan group of lawmakers is calling for the restoration of a charitable deduction for donors who don't itemize their taxes, a top priority for nonprofits nationwide.
The proposal has drawn support from Sen. Ron Wyden, the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, who called the charitable deduction a "lifeline, not a loophole." Wyden, D-Ore., said during a committee hearing this week that there is support from Democrats and Republicans for renewing and expanding the deduction. Sen. James Lankford, a Republican from Oklahoma, echoed that sentiment, saying he was "passionate" about expanding the charitable deduction.
However, Wyden has not signed on as a co-sponsor of the Lankford bill. He has declined to say whether he supports the legislation.
