“Congress has decided to allow the public to claim their donations on their 2009 tax return!
Normally, charitable contributions are deductible only for the year they were made, but due to the extreme need for help in Haiti, Congress has made an exception to the rule!
To be able to claim a deduction, the monetary donation must have been made after January 11th but before March 1st, and the organization must be a “domestic charity that is assisting Haiti.” -P.H.
