Important Tax Information Regarding Your 2007 Contribution

Your generous contributions to United Way of Fort Smith Area are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

In order to claim a charitable deduction on your 2007 income tax return, we must receive your contribution by 2 p.m. on Thursday, December 27. (Note that no credit card donations will be processed after noon on Friday, December 28 for the purposes of 2007 tax credit.) Donations made by check and submitted by mail must be postmarked by December 31, 2007. Due to frequent postal delays experienced during the busy holiday season, we encourage you to mail your gifts several days in advance.
Stock gifts must be transferred by December 31.

United Way routinely provides documentation for tax purposes to all donors who contribute at least $250 via cash, check, credit card, or stock gifts. (For such contributions under $250, you may request a tax receipt by sending an email to angie.ruth@unitedway.com .) Please provide your name, address, approximate date of contribution and amount.) You should expect to receive your tax receipt by U.S. mail no later than January 31, 2008. The IRS requires that gifts made through payroll deduction be documented through earnings statement(s) provided by your employer along with a copy of your pledge card.

Please call 479-782-1311 if you have questions. Reduce your stress level this holiday season and make your charitable gift early!
