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.
Providing Receipts 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.
You must file one or more Forms 8283 if the amount of your deduction for each noncash contribution is more than $500. You must also file Form 8283 if you have a group of similar items for which a total deduction of over $500 is claimed.
Deduction Limits – The IRS limits the amount you can deduct for charitable contributions of appreciated stock to 30% of your adjusted gross income (AGI) for the tax year. If your donation exceeds this limit, you can carry the excess deduction forward for up to five years.
The modern way to accept stock gifts: 4 steps Use a stock giving tool to help facilitate the process. Publish an information-capture page to gate the information and automate the giving process. Direct donors to your stock giving page. Automatically send donors the transfer instructions for their brokerage.
To process stock donations, a nonprofit would have to work with each donor individually to send the donation form, track and record the gift, send an acknowledgment letter, ensure paperwork was correct, liquidate and reinvest funds, and avoid forgery and fraud—all by hand!
Let's break down each step: Decide which shares of stock you want to donate. Obtain your nonprofit's account information. Fill out the appropriate stock donation forms and send them to your brokerage. Follow up with the charity to make sure the donation is received. Report the stock donation when you file your taxes.
Although they aren't physical goods, contributions of stocks, real estate, and cryptocurrency are also considered in-kind donations because they involve the transfer of assets from an individual to your nonprofit.
Properly Acknowledging Your In-Kind Stock Gift Once you receive a donation of stock, a thank you and acknowledgment letter should be sent to the donor. Not only is this the right thing to do, but it's also required by the IRS for any gift over $250.
