Haiti Relief Donations Qualify for Immediate Tax Relief

 

By Herald Staff

MOUNTAINSIDE — People who give to charities providing earthquake relief in Haiti can claim these donations on the tax return they are completing this season.
“Americans have opened their hearts to help those affected by the Haiti earthquake,” said IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman. “This new law provides an immediate tax benefit for the many taxpayers who have made generous donations.”
“Taxpayers who itemize deductions on their 2009 return qualify for this special tax relief provision, enacted Jan. 22, said New Jersey’s IRS spokesperson Gregg Semanick. “Only cash contributions made to these charities after Jan. 11, 2010, and before March 1, 2010, are eligible. This includes contributions made by text message, check, credit card or debit card.”
