Part 1: Personal Federal Taxes Changes

7.  Charitable Donations Tax Credits

In the past, the federal rates for charitable donations tax credits were 15% on the first $200 and 29% on the rest of charitable donations up to 75% of net income.  Starting 2016, due to new top income tax bracket of $200,000+ ($202,800+ for 2017) with 33% rates, the donation tax credits have increased to 33% for those affected by the new tax brackets and rates after the first $200.
