I made charitable contributions in 2016 but I’m claiming the standard deduction. Can I carry over the unused deduction for these contributions to 2017?
No. Opting to claim the standard deduction is in lieu of any itemized deductions. The five-year carryover for charitable contributions applies only to amounts that were claimed as itemized deductions but were in excess of adjusted-gross-income limits.
