Charitable Gifts directly from an IRA

Are we allowed to make gifts to charities directly from an IRA in 2009 like we could last year and avoid showing the amount of the gifts as income or deductions? I seemed to recall that law was for just a few years but maybe it was extended.

Yes for 2009. Add the distribution amount to Form 1040 line 15a but not to 15b, and write QCD on line 15.
