Looking to Donate Stock?
Do you have appreciated stocks or securities that you’ve held for more than a year? Donating stocks or securities directly to the Task Force is a tax-smart way to have a significant impact on our mission for many reasons:
- Avoiding Capital Gains Tax: By donating appreciated stock directly to the Task Force, you can avoid paying capital gains on the appreciation. This means more of your donation is supporting our work.
- Deduct the Value from Your Taxable Income: When you donate appreciated stock you’ve held for more than a year, you can generally take a tax deduction for the full fair market value of the stock at the time of the donation.
- Preserve Your Cash: Donating appreciated stocks or securities means you get to keep your cash on hand for other things.
Overall, donating stock can be a tax-efficient way to help the Task Force advance our mission and support our work. It’s always a good idea to consult with a tax advisor or financial planner to understand the specific tax implications for your situation.
Are you 70.5+? Give from Your IRA
If you are 70.5+ and have a traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA) you can make a tax-smart gift to the Task Force directly from your IRA. By making a donation from an IRA account, known as a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), you can have a significant impact on the Task Force’s mission and save money:
- Save on Taxes: Money put into a traditional IRA comes from pre-tax dollars, which means the money you withdraw from it is added to your taxable income. By donating to the Task Force directly from your IRA, you avoid paying taxes on the withdrawal and it’s not added to your taxable income.
- 73 or Older? Your Gift Counts Towards Your Required Minimum Distribution: When you turn 73, you are required to start making withdrawals from your IRA account, known as a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD). You can donate all or a portion of your RMD to the Task Force directly and receive the same tax benefits as above.
It’s always a good idea to consult with a tax advisor or financial planner to understand the specific tax implications for your situation.
