The House has passed, and Senate will more than likely agree to, legislation so that any charitable contributions to Haiti Relief before March 1, 2010 can be taken as a charitable deduction on 2009 tax returns.

Your tax advisor can help determine if you should consider taking advantage of this provision should it become law and possibly delay filing your tax returns until after March 1. We will monitor the progress of this legislation and provide updates as available.
