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!

CLICK HERE FOR A DETAILED EXPLANATION

How It Works

  You transfer cash or securities to KCET.

  After the transfer, KCET pays you, or up to two annuitants you name, fixed income for life.

  The principal passes to KCET when the contract ends.

Benefits

  • You receive an immediate income tax deduction for a portion of your gift.
  • Your annuity payments are guaranteed for life, backed by a reserve and the full assets of KCET.
  • Your annuity payments are treated as part ordinary income, part capital gains income (15%), and part tax-free income.
  • You have the satisfaction of making a significant gift that benefits you now and KCET later.
