What the document says

“exceeds 1 percent of the taxpayer's taxable income for the taxable year, and”

To provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14, Sec. 70426

The section rewrites section 170(b)(2)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 so that a charitable contribution other than one covered by subparagraph (B) or (C) is deductible only so far as the total of such contributions exceeds 1 percent of taxable income for the year and does not exceed 10 percent of taxable income for the year.

What the document actually says

“exceeds 1 percent of the taxpayer's taxable income for the taxable year, and”

To provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14, Sec. 70426
That sentence, in plain words

The total of the gifts must top 1 percent of taxable income. That is the floor.

What this is about

A ceiling of 10 percent also applies. So only the band between the two counts. Gifts below the floor get no deduction.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
