Haiti Donations Deductable on 2009 Tax Return
Richard Rogers, EA| January 26, 2010
According to the IRS, if you gave to a charity providing earthquake relief in Haiti you can claim the deduction on your 2009 tax return if you choose. In order to get the deduction for the 2009 year you must itemize your deductions (use Schedule A) and have made a cash contribution after January 11, 2010 and before March 1, 2010; so there is still time to make a donation and get a deduction on your 2009 tax return.
