 LAST CHANCE FOR A TAX DEDUCTION For the next 24 hours you have a choice. You can give your hard earned dollars to Uncle Sam or you can give the gift of literacy. Your tax deductible gift of $100 provides brand new books for 26 children or adults. Your tax deductible gift of $500 ships five cases of brand new books to a school, library, or cause of your choice.
Every year 22% of charitable giving happens between December 30-31 between 10 am and 6pm in all time zones. Current law ties the value of itemized deductions to your tax bracket. For those in the 35% federal bracket reduce their tax liability by $350 with a $1000 charitable gift.
Investment companies encourage tax smart charitable year-end contributions if you haven’t already. For this year, given the stock market’s gains, donating long-term appreciated securities may be a particularly tax-savvy strategy. As a general rule, donations of long-term appreciated securities (either stock or mutual funds) directly to a qualified charity are deductible at their fair market value on the date of contribution, and you don’t pay capital gains taxes on the donated security.
