It says that the qualified cash contributions have to be available to the charity between august and december 2005, and contributions to a CRT would not apply unless they are distributed by the CRT to a charity by Dec 31, 2005. I didn't see any mention of a gift annuity, but from the other provisions, I'd expect that a gift annuity won't qualify for the increased limitation.</P><P>BillWed, 21 Dec 2005 11:14:59 GMTArchivedhttp://forums.calcpa.org/Topic34-2-1.aspx<SPAN class=postbody>Is the deductible portion of a cash contribution for a charitable gift annuity eligible for the increased limitations under the Katrina act?
