Tip of the Day

Same gift, better deduction

We've told you that a donation using appreciated securities produces a charitable deduction in the amount of the full, fair market value of the stock, with no liability for capital gains — a great tax benefit!

Charitable Bargain Sales

CLICK HERE FOR A DETAILED EXPLANATION

How it works

  You sell your residence or other property to KCET for a price below the appraised market value, resulting in a transaction that is part charitable gift and part sale.

  The KCET may use the property, but it usually elects to sell it and uses the net proceeds of sale for the gift purpose(s) you specified.

Benefits

  • You receive an immediate income tax deduction for the appraised market value of the portion of the property you donated.
  • You pay no capital gains tax on the donated portion of the property.
  • You can receive cash from the sale portion to retire a mortgage or for other purposes.
  • You have the satisfaction of making a significant gift to KCET during your lifetime.
