Gift Planning

Why stocks make good gifts

While the heat outside indicates we ’ re far from thinking about stockings and presents , it ’ s always a good time to consider donating appreciated stocks as a gift to your favorite charities .
Giving stocks held longer than a year instead of giving cash saves you capital gains taxes . This advantage makes the after-tax cost of the contribution less for gifts of stock versus gifts of cash .
For example , if a donor in the 24 % tax bracket has decided to make a $ 10,000 donation to charity and makes the gift in cash , it would look like this :
Cash contributed $ 10,000 Income taxes saved - $ 2,400
After-tax cost of the contribution $ 7,600
If that same donor decided instead to give $ 10,000 worth of stock that was purchased for $ 2,000 more than one year ago , it would like this :
Value of stock contributed $ 10,000 Income taxes saved - $ 2,400
Capital gains tax avoided ( 15 % of the gain ) - $ 1,200
After-tax cost of the contribution $ 6,400
However , despite the advantage , gifts of stock are often not well understood or widely used , possibly because we associate donations exclusively with cash instead of other assets .
