GIVING STOCK CAN IMPROVE YOUR TAX OUTLOOK

As you begin reviewing your end of year tax strategies we hope you will remember Waikiki Community Center in your giving plans.  One especially advantageous way of giving combines greater tax savings for you while providing additional funds for Waikiki Community Center.  Here’s an example of how this can work.

 The Gift.  Mr. Brown purchased publicly traded securities (stocks) 10 years ago at a cost of $5,000.  They are currently valued at $17,000.  Because he has owned the securities more than 1 year and they have increased in value, Mr. Brown can use them to make his year-end gift at a lower out-of-pocket cost.

 Increase the savings.  Mr. Brown is entitled to a tax deduction for the full current value of the donated securities, not the lesser amount he paid for it.  In addition, he is not subject to the capital gains tax which would be due on the increase in value of the securities if had sold them.

 How the gift is made.  Since Mr. Brown does not hold the stock certificates he wishes to give, he simply contacts his investment broker to handle the transfer to Waikiki Community Center.  For tax purposes, this gift is considered complete at the time of the actual transfer.  To be sure your gift will qualify for a tax deduction, allow enough time for the transfer to be made this year end.

 An alternate giving method.  If you do hold the stock certificate, you can simply mail it to WCC, a signed stock power is also needed.  Contact Denice at 923-1802 for more details.

 Gifts of personal property.  Items such as antiques, jewelry, coin collections, automobiles and other such assets offer significant tax advantages when given to a non profit like WCC. We turn this into working cash to provide enhanced services for our members—senior adults, families and children.

Let us know if you have any questions.  Mahalo!
