Use the date the checks left your hands, mail date, if posted that way. Delivery date if you personally carried them to the charity.

| which date used for charitable gifts ? Hi, I wrote a few checks for charitable gifts in Dec. 2003 but the checks were cashed in early Jan. 2004. Can I claim those donations for 2003 tax ? Which date is used for the claim - the date on the check or the date of its clearing ? Thanks for any help. -AH << -------------------------------------------------> << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting > << messages to this newsgroup are at www.asktax.org > << -------------------------------------------------> |
