Tax Question

Ok, smart people: if I give in charity checks before the end of December but the places don't cash them until January, does it still count as 2010 charity?

I believe it's based on the date on the check. Plus, even if the org cashes it after the year flips, when they book the gift, it's probably entered backdated to when they received it. Or that's how they should do it.

Thanks, I was hoping that was the case, and you and Avi have confirmed.

Heh, I confess that when I wrote "smart people" in the post, I was thinking, "Avi." I knew you'd come through with the detailed knowledge!
