2010 Haiti Relief Contribution Deductible for 2009

Charitable Haiti Relief Contributions made before March 1, 2010 are deductible on your 2009 tax return according to a law passed by Congress. H.R. 4462 is expected to be signed by the President. This contribution is retroactive to any Haiti contribution made after January 11, 2010.

For those of you who used technology to make your contribution via a text message your telephone bill showing name, date, and amount will serve as substantiation.

States, such as California, who must pass conforming legislation have not had a chance to do so yet but we understand it is in progress.

If you have, or intend to make, a Haiti charitable contribution and are going to deduct it on your 2009 tax return please make a special note of it in your organizer or send us an e-mail.
