New Law Encourages Tsunami Relief Contributions:

The new law enacted on Jan. 7 allows these donations to be deducted as if they were made on Dec. 31, 2004.

“There are no extra forms to fill out or any additional burdens for taxpayers,� said IRS Commissioner Mark W. Everson. “As long as you send your check by the end of the month, the donation will be treated just like it was still 2004.�

If you haven’t already donated and you’re in the US, this is yet another incentive for you to do so. It’s not too late.
