If I am an individual taxpayer and I decide to make a charitable gift after January 1, 2007, can I deduct that from my 2006 taxes? and if so, how long into 2007 do i have to make that charitable gift?
How long after January 1 can I make a charitable gift and take a tax deduction for the previous year?
As a rule, you can't. there was a one-off dispensation for the Asian Tsunami a couple of years ago.
What you can do is mail a check on 31st December and claim that. Just make sure the charity acknowledges that the check and postmark were dated December and not January.
Reply:No. It must be given by 12/31/2006
It was extended to 1/31 of the next year after the Indian Ocean Tsunami as it happened so late in the year but that was for that year (2004) and only for contributions for Tsunami relief.
One option though is to put it on a credit card. If is on a credit card by 12/31/2006 you can deducted it for 2006. This is the only way to get a 2006 deduction and pay for it in 2007.
Reply:If you are audited for 2006 and the checks to charities show the charity deposited them in the first week or so of January 2007, you will probably withstand the challenge. If the bank pay dates are after say, January 10th, you may be asked to provide some kind of explanation from your bank. After January 20th, expect the agent to disallow the deductions for 2006.
Reply:I agree with everybody except for merchant, and I reported him.
Reply:You can't. You need to make the donation by Dec 31st.

What gift should I get for my 2 years old son?
I already planned for his birthday party this week on Sunday. He have so many clothes and toys. What gift should I get for my son?
What gift should I get for my 2 years old son?
Hi there,
I think it depends on the personality of your child. What does he like? Some children love to attend live children's concerts. Some love picture books. There are some good learning video cassettes like "Baby Einstein" or "Baby Mozart" series. There are children's version of laptop computers. Some children like attending special children's workshops, for examples, art %26amp; craft, music, dancing, sports, gardening, drama, photography etc. There exist a lot of workshops that offer free trial sessions that you may like to consider.
A trip to a place of interest also might be appealing to your child.
Personally, I would buy what my child finds "cool".
Most importantly, I'm sure you have already prepared for him a day filled with joy, laughter, and loving memories.
Wishing your child a Super Happy Birthday!
Reply:I would suggest Lego, the large ones for young kids. As he gets older you can buy the smaller ones which can be used with the large ones. There are heaps of different designs you can get and you can just add to them over the years. Creative and clean, but horrible when sucked up a vacuum cleaner!
Reply:It may sound cliche, but the gift of reading is one of the best gifts you can give your son. Head to Barnes and Noble and pick out some nice picture books. There are so many gorgeous hardcover books for children with such amazing pictures that the child will have a hard time NOT falling in love with reading!
Barnes and Noble sells gift sets of a book with a toy. . . or you can make your own. Buy a book about dinosaurs, for example, and then buy him a toy dinosaur.
Reply:i went to walmart the other day and my son just loved this firetruck that has legos inside it and places to build the legos on the fire truck they were big legos so your son wouldn't be able to choke my son is 1 1/2 so i'm sure your 2 year old would love it too and its only $25
Reply:There are so many 'TOYS" OUT THRE THAT ARE WHAT i CALL LEARNING TOYS. Go to "toys r us" or target. k=mart, or any where you can afford and get something that is fun , but teachs you. If you want to be a part of your child's life, I would get books and every day I would find time and read to him and when He gets old enough He could read to you. the bond is also a teaching thing. Happy Birthday to your son.
Reply:You should know that your son likes what. You should give a car book for your son.
Reply:give him a pole that goes from floor to cieling.. We have some at the grocery store and kids can't stay away from those things :)
Reply:2 year olds don't need a lot of toys or clothes, since your having the party you dont' have to give him a gift too. He will be opening all the presents and they are too young to make any accounting of who gave what anyways.

Is there a way to exchange a gift card for a different store?
I recieved a gift card for $75.00 to a store i do not ever shop at. I was wondering if there was a way to "trade it in" for a different store.

Try plasticjungle.com. You can sell or exchange your gift card. I haven't used it, but read about it.
Reply:I sell store gift cards at my store, and I cannot give a refund on them once the money is added to the card. Maybe you know someone that does shop at that store that you could sell it to?
Reply:I would venture that you will not be able to do that.

never put a spa/whirlpool in ground. they are too cheap to maintain,and if something goes wrong you are looking at the cost,PLUS ,paying some dumb *** to tell you that you shouldn't have done it ti begin with

What is a good going away gift for someone being deployed to Iraq?
He's not sure yet what he will be doing or where, exactly, he will be located. I gave him phone cards. But what else would be a thoughtful gift?
What is a good going away gift for someone being deployed to Iraq?
I just went through this with my hubby 1 week today in fact. Depending on how much you can spend, I have a few suggestions : Solar powered watch ( G-shock makes a great one, about $80 ) , a psp if he doesn't already have one ( it's small and won't be a hassle to lug around, $169 ), Go have a friend take pictures of you two before he leaves, a flash light with colored filters like red, if he likes to read a few books to get him started ( you can always send more ), envelopes pre-stamped and with your address, last but not least send him away with a promise of your undying love.
Hang in there girl. Things will be rough at first but I promise things will get easier as the days go on. Know that he is thinking of you just as much as you are of him.
Thank you for serving as a silent rank behind your brave man.
Reply:Katie is dead on!!
My wife and I survived my deployment with just that. I was lucky enough to be stationed where I could talk to her at least 3 nights a week.
Otherwise the best gift you can give him is certainly your unflinching support. Not just with him but with his family and friends. Be attentive at what you say about the things at home when hes there, the little things mean a lot more. And regardless of if you can get to see him online or not write often and send things like pictures of family or just you. I carried a picture of my wife and I over my heart the whole time I was there. Its a good feeling to know that when you do stop moving and your thoughts wander you can reach into your pocket and pull out that picture. It is a huge morale boost.
Send him off with a swagger or a stagger. :P I had the luxury of both.
Reply:A cool leatherman/multi-tool, a surefire flashlight, sexy pictures...
Reply:A web cam so that when he is gone you can still see each other!
Reply:Webcam. You can chat with him when he is not on Duty. In the camp Fallujah, they have computer and itnernet.
