Bill allows deducting Jan 2005 donations to Tsunami relief on your 2004 Tax Return
Also as a matter of note, a bill was passed last week that allows contributions made to Tsunami relief organizations during the month of January 2005 to be deductible against a US taxpayers 2004 Federal Tax Return. This is an excerpt from: http://nonprofit.about.com/library/weekly/aa122804.htm "....making a donation by 1/31/05 will qualify for a tax-deduction for 2004. This is a special month-long extension. Be sure to write "tsunami relief" on any check or notation if an online gift is made. For gifts of $250 or more, be sure to ask for a receipt. Most organizations provide receipts automatically for online donations."
