Stock & Securities Transfer

Advantages

  • Receive an immediate income tax deduction when giving stock or securities for the fair market value on the date of transfer (even if you originally paid much less for them).
  • Pay no capital gains tax on the transfer when the stock is sold.

Giving appreciated stock can be more beneficial than giving cash. The “cost” of your gift is often less than the deduction you gain by making it.
