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!
