In
addition to making a significant contribution, there can be other benefits for
you in making a gift of real estate:
- There may be a charitable income tax deduction that would lower your income tax.
- If
your property has appreciated in value since you acquired it, there might be a
large capital gain tax that would result if you sold it. By donating the property,
you may be able to avoid realizing the capital gains.
- Depending on your state regulations, you may be able to turn the property into
a gift that is structured to provide income for you and a beneficiary.
- If the property is your home or farm, you may be able to make a gift of it now
and continue to live in it for the rest of your life and receive tax benefits
the year of the gift.
- If the contribution from your property exceeds the allowable charitable deduction
limits, the deduction may be carried forward for five years.
