Summary
Charitable Equity for Veterans Act of 2019
This bill allows a tax deduction for charitable contributions to certain federally chartered organizations of past or present members of the Armed Forces.

The bill expands the deduction to include organizations that do not meet the wartime service requirement and are federally chartered.)
