Tax Deductions for Gifts Made at Year End
At the end of the calendar year, Mother Seton Regional High School must follow IRS regulations for the dating of contributions. These regulations provide that the date of a gift is the date on which it is mailed, not the date received nor on the check date. Thus, if the foundation receives a gift in January that was mailed in December, it is a December gift. If it receives in January a gift that is mailed in January, it is required to record as the date of the gift the date of the postmark on the envelope, even if the check is dated in December.
