> Real Property Gifts
Real property or non-cash gifts valued at more than $500 require the
donor to submit an IRS Form 8283 with his/her tax return in order
to claim a charitable deduction. Gifts greater than $5,000 require
an appraisal and the signature of the donee organization on the 8283.
Property gifts are deductible at 30 percent of the donor's adjusted
gross income (AGI) for the year, and donors may claim the excess deduction
in up to five additional tax years.
Real Estate
Real estate includes homes, farmland, lake cabins, commercial buildings,
and undeveloped rural property. The donor needs to have a current
appraisal in his or her valuation of the gift. Real estate gifts
may be given outright, used to fund a charitable remainder trust,
or given as a retained life estate. This enables the donor to deed
the property to the May Institute but continue to live in their
residence for their life. Retained life estate donors receive a
partial charitable income tax and estate tax deduction, depending
on their ages.
Tangible Personal Property (TPP)
TPP includes artwork, coin and stamp collections, rare books, and
antiques. There are certain rules that donors need to know regarding
the acceptance of tangible personal property gifts. For example,
for the donor to receive a tax deduction for the fair market value
of the property, the May Institute must have a use for the gift
that is related to its mission. TPP gifts are usually outright but
also may be used to fund a charitable remainder trust under certain
circumstances.
