Something I had not thought of:

- Do you claim tax deduction on your Zakat contributions?
- ⁠If so, what do you do with the tax refund you receive because of it

Yes, and I try and pro forma the refund amount and also give that as sadaqah

I don’t, but that’s because I take the standard dedication since I only pay about $2K in zakat, which is way less than the $14,600 standard deduction amount. I don’t have any other expenses that would be considered an itemized deduction

I think for most people this is the correct answer.
