Haitian Donation Tax Information

Anyone making a cash donation for Haitian relief efforts to a qualified charitable organization between Jan. 11 and Mar. 1, 2010 can deduct the contribution on their 2009 federal tax return.

For donors making donations through payroll deduction, deductions made after March 1, 2010 may not be eligible for an accelerated federal income tax deduction under HR 4462, which covers cash contributions made between January 11, 2010 and March 1, 2011. Please consult with your tax advisor if you have questions regarding your particular tax situation.
