Giving Stock Can Provide Greater Tax Benefits Than Giving Cash
Benefits of Stock Giving
 
  • Bypass capital gains tax and realize ordinary income tax savings
  • Give a larger gift than you thought was possible
Double Dip on Tax Savings
  For donors who itemize, the Internal Revenue Code allows a:
 
  • Deduction for the full market value of appreciated stock and real estate and
  • Avoidance of capital gains tax
 
Here's How It Works
Assume you purchased stock in 1985 for $2,000. The fair market value of the stock today is $10,000. If you sold the stock, you would realize an $8,000 capital gain. Under current tax rates you could owe as much as $1,600 in capital gains tax.
 
You decide to make a gift to help the community through the United Way Campaign. Normally, you make your gift by payroll deduction or by check, but this year you decide to see whether a stock gift would be more advantageous and perhaps allow you to give a larger gift than you thought possible.
