Second case: the total amount of your professional expenses (telework, trips, meals, etc.) is greater than the flat -rate reduction of 10 % applied to wages.You can opt for the deduction of these costs for their real amount if this is more favorable to you, especially in the event of major expenses (office, armchair, laptop, etc.).

The donation ceiling to certain associations noted

To support associations providing their help to the most fragile French hit hard by the crisis, the government noted in 2020 the tax advantage linked to donations granted to assistance organizations in difficulty or victims of domestic violence.

For example, if you gave last year € 1,500 to the restaurants of the heart, the Red Cross or Action against Hunger, you are entitled to a tax reduction of € 1,080 (75 % of 1,000+ 66 % of 500) in 2020.
