What is the rule on giving gifts to the museum at the end of the year and
being able to take the income tax deduction? Does the gift have to be in
possession of the museum by the end of the year, or is a verbal or written
proposal of the gift (and perhaps written agreement to accept) necessary for
the deduction to be honored. Thanks for your help.
