The IRS has a rule about this, I believe. I think it was by Jan 8th, but you should check...

Do you mean can it count for 2010 if it doesn't actually arrive until
2011?

Merry Christmas everyone.

The question has just been raised, can a gift come in the first week of
January if the promise has already been made.  I am looking for some
documentation on this but thought I would go first to the collective
wisdom of my colleagues.

Best to all.

Thank you.
