| Appreciated Stock |
|
If you donate stock that has increased in value since you bought it more than a year ago, and if you itemize deductions, you can take a charitable deduction for the stock’s fair market value on the day you give it away. You’ll also avoid capital gains taxes on the increase in value over time, which you would have had to pay if you sold the stock then gave the charity the cash proceeds. You can deduct the fair market value only if you hold the stock for more than a year before giving it away. If you have held it for less than a year, your deduction is limited to your cost basis - what you paid for the stock, not the current value. |

| IRA Charitable Rollover |
|
The IRA Charitable Rollover is a tax-free way to make a charitable gift. A traditional Individual Retirement Account is an account set aside with funds to be used after retirement. The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act of 2015 that was passed by Congress and signed into law made permanent what is popularly known as the Individual Retirement Account (IRA) Charitable Rollover. This means that charitably minded taxpayers who are 70 ½ years old or older can transfer up to $100,000 annually from their IRA accounts directly to a charity without first having to recognize the distribution as income. Simply put, if you meet this qualification you can use your IRA to transfer up to $100,000 each year to a charity without being taxed. |
