Gifts of Stocks
Making a gift of long-term appreciated securities may bring extra tax savings compared to a gift of cash. The secret is the double tax benefit. You may deduct the current fair market value as a charitable gift and avoid any capital gains tax on the appreciation. For example, suppose you give a gift of stock with a fair market value of $3,000. Assume that you purchased this over a year ago for $500. You can deduct the full $3,000 gift on this year’s income taxes (subject to limitations) and the $2,500 gain is not taxed to you even though it has inflated the charitable deduction.
Please note: your broker MUST provide your name to Baird with any stock transfer otherwise St. Mary Parish may not be credited for this gift nor will you receive a tax deductible thank you receipt for your gift. To assist us with our stock donation tracking, it would be helpful if you could let us know when the transfer was made, the type of stock and the number of shares. Simply give me Gayle Rzany a call or send an e-mail to RzanyG@archmil.org.
