    It’s tax return filing time again. Here are a few important reminders for 2009 returns.

     The law has strict recordkeeping requirements for deducting charitable contributions. For each contribution under $250, you must have a bank record such as a cancelled check, credit card record, or receipt from the charity. For donations of $250 or more, a receipt from the charity must be obtained before filing your return. Generally, donations of used clothing and household items will qualify for deduction only if the items are in “good condition or better.”
