Tips for Making Charitable Donations to WHAM  

Millions of taxpayers itemize their deductions
 on their federal income tax forms.
A common itemized deductions is a donation
made to a charitable organization.
Here are ten things WHAM wants you to know
before deducting charitable donations.

1. Charitable contributions can be made to WHAM. 
WHAM is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization.

2. Charitable contributions are deductible
only if you itemize by using Form 1040, Schedule A.

3. Cash contributions and the fair market value
of most property donated to WHAM are allowed.
 Special rules apply to several types of donated property,
including clothing or household items, cars and boats.

4. If you receive merchandise, goods, or services
in return for a contribution - such as admission to a charity event -
you only can deduct the amount that exceeds the fair
market value of the benefit received from WHAM.

5. Be sure to keep good records
of any contribution you make to WHAM,
regardless of the amount.
Contributions in cash must be recorded by:
* a bank record - including a cancelled check
or a bank or credit card statement
* a written record from the charity with
date, amount, and donor name
*  a payroll deduction record.

6. Only contributions actually made to WHAM
during the tax year are deductible.
For example, if you pledged $500 in September
but paid the charity only $200 by Dec. 31,
your deduction would be $200.

7. Include credit card charges and payments by check
in the year they are given to WHAM,
even though you may not pay the credit card bill
or have your bank account debited until the next year.

8. For any contribution of $250 or more,
you must have written acknowledgment from WHAM
 to substantiate your donation.
Written proof will include the amount of cash
and a description of any property contributed,
and whether the organization provided
any goods or services in exchange for the gift.

9. To deduct charitable contributions
of items valued at $500 or more to WHAM, 
make sure you must complete Form 8283,
Noncash Charitable Contributions,
and attached the form to your return.

10. An appraisal generally must be obtained
if you claim a deduction for a contribution
of noncash property to WHAM
worth more than $5,000.
In this case, you must also fill out
Section B of Form 8283
and attach the form to your return.
