Raleigh NC Tax Preparation

In a recent email news item I made the distinction that the natural disaster that occurred in Haiti is currently a qualified disaster according to the IRS (http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=218615,00.html).

And I mentioned in that email, there are rumors that said people are able to make a deduction for contributions to Haiti on the current year’s (2009) tax return - rather than having to wait until you make your 2010 tax return. Certainly this could be a huge reason to donate for people who wanted to give money to the victims of disaster in Haiti to assist them in getting back on their feet! Are you feeling the pressure of today’s taxes? Right now you can get $100 off your tax return for Cary NC Tax Preparation needs!

As it turns out, the suggestions I was hearing and that you possibly have read are TRUE! On January 22nd, the IRS adopted a special tax relief policy that will allow contributions for the Haiti relief made after January 11, 2010 and before March 1, 2010, will be taken from your 2009 tax return. Or, you could choose to take the deduction on your 2010 tax return instead, just in case you did not want to take advantage of this great incentive to assist those in need.

The inhabitants of Haiti are hurting very badly. Earthquake disasters are completely unavoidable, and are well, devastating. Earthquakes and other forms of environmental disaster cause vast amounts of carnage and homelessness. Entire families are without food or clean water. In many cases these families do not even have the capability to acquire any level of stable living environment without the help of other countries’ efforts (funded by donators like you!). Do your part right now and donate whatever you can to help the people of Haiti. I would greatly appreciate the extended effort, and I am sure all of the struggling people in Haiti would appreciate it to!
