Special Note: The Haiti Assistance Income Tax Relief Act allows U.S. taxpayers making contributions for the relief of Haitian earthquake victims to choose to deduct contributions from either 2009 or 2010 federal taxes, if the donor itemizes charitable contributions on her/his tax return. To be eligible for an accelerated deduction, the contributions must be made by cash, check, or credit card and must be made after January 11, 2010 and before March 1, 2010. Many churches and other organizations are raising money for Haitian relief efforts, but plan to forward the amounts contributed to another organization that actually does the relief work. This special contribution timing option will be available if solicitation communications commit to send the funds for Haitian earthquake relief, and the church actually sends them for that purpose. Consult with your tax professional for details and check to see if your state is offering a similar option for state tax returns.
