Congress passed legislation yesterday to allow taxpayers additional time to make cash donations to relief organizations addressing the disaster in Southeast Asia and claim a tax deduction for 2004.

Donors may claim a deduction for the 2004 tax year for contributions to aid victims of the tsunami that are made before Jan. 31, 2005. Without the legislation, which the House and Senate passed unanimously, donors would have had to claim deductions on their 2005 tax returns.
