I joined CBS Mornings on "Giving Tuesday" to discuss what taxpayers need to know about charitable giving this year. We also shared tips for ensuring you are giving to a legitimate charity, and don't fall victim to a scam.

Giving Tuesday is meant to encourage charitable donations during the holidays. Americans, including companies and foundations, gave an estimated $427 billion to U.S. charities last year. I joined CBS This Morning to share how to make the most of your charitable giving this holiday season.
