Taxes Stocks

Where can I get information on taxes on stocks for the ‘09 year?
In particular, I want to maximize the amount of money I donate to different organizations. I am inexperienced with determining tax information like this. Any sites that can assist me with this? Really don’t want to ask a tax-guy for this type of info.
The best place to look for info is irs.gov or sec.gov.
