## Summary

**Extends the federal charitable contribution deduction to federally chartered veteran service organizations (501(c)(19)).** The law adds federally chartered 501(c)(19) groups to section 170 so donations to those veteran service organizations are tax-deductible and counted under the same percentage-limit rules that apply to other charities. The change applies to taxable years beginning after the date of enactment.
