Haiti Relief Donations Qualify for 2009 Return
People who give to charities providing earthquake relief in Haiti can claim these donations on 2009 tax returns. Taxpayers who itemize deductions on their 2009 return qualify for this special tax relief provision. Only cash contributions made to these charities from Jan. 12, 2010, through Feb. 28, 2010, are eligible. The contributions must be made specifically for the relief of victims in areas affected by the Jan. 12 earthquake in Haiti. Taxpayers have the option of deducting these contributions on either their 2009 or 2010 returns, but not both. For donations by text message, a telephone bill will meet the recordkeeping requirement if it shows the name of the donee organization, the date of the contribution, and the amount of the contribution. For cash contributions made by other means, be sure to keep a bank record, such as a cancelled check, or a receipt from the charity showing the name of the charity and the date and amount of the contribution.
First-Time Homebuyer Credit Extended
The Worker, Homeownership, and Business Assistance Act of 2009 extends the deadline for qualifying home purchases from Nov. 30, 2009, to April 30, 2010. The maximum credit amount remains at $8,000 for a first-time homebuyer; the new law also provides a “long-time resident” credit of up to $6,500 to others who do not qualify as “first-time homebuyers.”
