Deductions can be claimed in 2009.
U.S. taxpayers will be able to claim a deduction
on their 2009 tax return for making monetary contributions to the Haiti
earthquake relief efforts.
Monetary contributions (including check and credit card donations) made
after January 11, 2010 and before March 1, 2010 can qualify. Please
note that accelerated contributions can only be deducted once, in
either 2009 or 2010.
Contributions must be substantiated with a bank record or written
communication from a qualified Code Sec. 501(c)(3) charitable
organization. Additionally, individuals who make monetary
contributions through their cellular telephones via text message can
substantiate their contributions with their telephone bill showing the
name of the charitable organization, and the amount and date of the
contribution.
If you make any 2010 donations for Haiti relief and wish to report them
as a charitable deduction in 2009, please note this in the data you
provide to us to prepare your 2009 tax return.
