Shares of stocks or mutual funds are easy to give and benefit you and IAR. Gifts of stocks can provide tax savings.

If the shares you want to give have decreased in value, the best plan may be to sell the shares yourself and then give the proceeds of the sale to IAR. This allows you to take any decrease in value of the shares as a write down on your taxes.

If your shares have increased in value the best course may be to transfer the shares to IAR instead of selling the shares and giving the proceeds to IAR. This approach may enable you to receive two advantages:

  • Get a larger charitable tax deduction because it is based on the higher current value of the shares (not the lower purchase price).
  • Avoid having to pay capital gains taxes on the appreciated value of your shares.

Your Financial Advisor or Tax Accountant can help you decide the best way to proceed.
