Well credit card interest is no longer deductible, hasn't been for many years, unless it's for a business or a business item purchased on a personal CC.

What I trying to say is that lets say you get a doctors bill in 2008 and you don't have the cash to pay it so you decide to charge it on your CC. It's still a medical deduction for 2008 even if you don't repay the CC company until years later. Same rule applies to real estate taxes, contributions, etc charged on a CC.
