Giving Info

Clive Stockdale, chairman of the Trustees sent this info to me to pass on (sent to him, I think, by Brian Esterly):

The Katrina Emergency Tax Relief Act of 2005 created included some provisions that can benefit some donors to charitable organizations. These benefits expire at the end of 2005.

The IRS site giving details is:
http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=149391,00.html
that site also refers to
http://www.house.gov/jct/x-69-05.pdf
Your tax professional can supply details.

If you are wondering about deadlines to send in your big contributions, our policy is to accept for this year mailed checks postmarked 2005. If the enveloped is postmarked January 1 or later, we cannot accept it for 2005 (IRS rules). The church office, by the way, will be closed December 30 (and 23rd).
