<p>OK, just got this in an email from PIH; I’m on their list since I donated back in January. However, when I met with the accountant last week, I didn’t mention this donation because I figured it’d be used for our 2010 taxes. Can someone explain, please? Can I still make another donation and get the deduction this year? We could use it.</p>
<p>“You have two days left to contribute to earthquake relief efforts in Haiti and deduct your gift on your 2009 tax returns.”</p>
<p>There is a special tax break for donations to Haiti relief where donations until 2/28 can be deducted on your 2009 return</p>

<p>I had no idea… thanks for letting me know! I just sent an email to my accountant, but he may not read it until Monday.</p>
