INFO REGARDING 2024 CHARITABLE TAX RECEIPT DEADLINE EXTENSION
Q: Did the Feds extend the 2024 charitable donation deadline to Feb 28, 2025, due to the Canada Post strike?
A: CRA is confirming that it will proceed with administering the 2024 deadline extension for charitable donations, and administering this proposed legislation, consistent with its long-standing practice.
Q. What does this mean for donors?
A. Individuals may claim the eligible amount of certain gifts made to charities and other qualified donees up to February 28, 2025, on their 2024 personal income tax return. If you do not claim gifts made to charities and other qualified donees up to February 28, 2025, on your 2024 personal income tax return, you can still claim the amount on your 2025 return or carry forward the amount.
Q. If I make a charitable donation on or before February 28, 2025, and want to claim it for tax year 2024, does the tax receipt that I receive from the charity have to state that it is for the 2024 tax year?
A. No, you, as the donor, decide which year you will claim any charitable donation(s) made between Jan 1 – Feb 28, 2025. Just be sure not to claim the same donation for both tax years. The normative practice is for a charity to provide a charitable receipt for the date on which a donation was received. A charity is not required to issue official donation receipts specific to the extension period.
Q. When will I receive my tax receipt if I make a donation for the Goggins Run?
A. Both the Goggins Run organizers and Carty House use Canada Helps for all online donations. Canada Helps issues the tax receipt, via email, immediately following the completion of a donation.
Q. What if I wish to make a donation via E-Transfer or send in a cheque to Carty House?
A. In this case, the tax receipt will come from Carty House, and will usually be mailed to your home address. It can also be emailed and you can let us know your preference. E-Transfers can be sent to Office@CartyHouse.org and cheques can be mailed to: Carty House P.O. Box, 4758 STN E, Ottawa ON K1S 5H9. Mailed cheques would need to be postmarked by or on Feb 28, 2025, in order to be eligible for the tax receipt extension.
Thank you for your generosity!
–The whole Carty House family
