FAQ
How Do I Claim a Tax Deduction for Donating Stock? You must donate the stock directly to a qualified charitable organization to claim a tax deduction. The stock's fair market value on the date of donation can be deducted from your income taxes, subject to certain limits based on your adjusted gross income (AGI).
The accepted way to record in-kind donations is to set up a separate revenue account but the expense side of the transaction should be recorded in its functional expense account. For example, revenue would be recorded as Gifts In-Kind – Services, and the expense would be recorded as Professional Services.
As soon as a stock donation is received, it becomes one of your nonprofit's assets. You should record this in your records immediately, or at a minimum once per month. In that same spreadsheet you established earlier, the value of the stock on the date of receipt becomes the donation amount.
Once a donation of stock has been received, a thank you letter should be sent to the donor. This letter should acknowledge the gift of stock, such as the name and number of shares. It should not list the value of the stock received since the organization is not in the business of valuing stock.
What do you need to include in your donation acknowledgment letter? The donor's name. The full legal name of your organization. A declaration of your organization's tax-exempt status. Your organization's employer identification number. The date the gift was received. A description of the gift and the amount received.
The same applies to stock gifts/donations. In this case, you should send a donation receipt comprising details such as the ticker symbol, the number of shares, and the donation date. Mentioning the value of the stock is not necessary since a nonprofit is not supposed to be assigning value to stocks or gifts.

Providing Receipts The IRS guidelines for stock donations mandate that any donation with a value greater than $250 warrants a receipt. As soon as the donation is in your brokerage account, send the donor a nonprofit stock acknowledgment letter that includes a tax receipt for it.
