Contribution and Financial News
ü To ensure your church contributions are tax deductible, do not file your 2009 income tax return until you have received a written acknowledgment (statement) of your contributions from the church. Some of your contributions may not be tax deductible if you file your tax return before receiving this written acknowledgment.
ü The contribution statements for the year 2008 will be mailed to you by the end of January. Please try to look over them when they come, in case there is an error that needs to be corrected. Contact Jane Newman at the church office if you have questions or concerns.
ü The IRS says ALL contributions, no matter the amount, must have a bank record or written acknowledgment from the charity other than your personal records. If you write a check, that will be proof, but the $250 rule will still apply. If you give cash, please put it in an envelope with your name on it if you want to get contribution credit for it. Otherwise you will have no way to prove, for tax purposes, that you made a donation.
