A: If you are filing your tax return as an individual, you will need to itemize your taxes if the sum of your deductible contributions exceeds $300. To determine whether you should itemize your taxes, you need to calculate the total amount of your deductible contributions. If this amount is greater than $300, you should itemize your taxes instead of taking the standard deduction. Deductible contributions include expenses like mortgage interest, state and local taxes paid, medical expenses, and charitable contributions. By itemizing your deductions, you report each eligible expense individually, which can potentially result in a larger tax deduction.

A: The CARES Act allows you to deduct $300 in charitable contributions. The CARES Act, which stands for "Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act," was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of this act, taxpayers who take the standard deduction are allowed to deduct up to $300 in cash contributions made to qualifying charitable organizations. This deduction is available even if you do not itemize your deductions.

A: IRS stands for Internal Revenue Service. It is the government agency responsible for administering and enforcing tax laws in the United States. The IRS collects taxes, processes tax returns, and provides guidance and assistance to taxpayers.

A: A retail or commercial bank is an example of a financial institution. Financial institutions are organizations that provide various financial services to individuals and businesses. Banks are one type of financial institution that offer services such as accepting deposits, providing loans, and facilitating transactions. Other examples of financial institutions include credit unions, investment banks, insurance companies, and brokerage firms.

A: When a bank is FDIC insured, it guarantees that you won't lose all of your money. The FDIC, which stands for Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, is an independent agency of the United States government. It provides deposit insurance to depositors in U.S. banks. If a bank that is FDIC insured fails, the FDIC steps in to protect depositors by insuring their deposits up to a certain limit (currently $250,000 per depositor per bank). This guarantees that even if a bank fails, you will not lose all of your funds deposited in that bank.
