How Much Will be Refunded?

Donations to NPO Florence are eligible for tax benefits (deduction for donations) by filing a final tax return.

Income Tax Deduction

You can choose either the “tax credit method” or the “income deduction method,” whichever is more advantageous to you. In most cases, the” tax credit method” results in a larger refund.
