Congress is looking to pass a bill that will allow a deduction of a 2010 charity donation on your 2009 tax return. The contribution has to go towards the Haiti relief efforts. You can't take the deduction in both years, but it gives you the option of taking the deduction in the year that benefits you the most. For more info, you can visit this site.
