FAQ
A gift of stock is a donation of property. If a charity receives a gift of publicly traded stock, the charity should send the donor an acknowledgement letter that describes the stock (i.e., “Thank you for your donation of 100 shares of XYZ Corporation”) but does not place a monetary value on the shares.
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!
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 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.
After filing of Statement of Donations in Form 10BD, download and issue Certificate of Donations in Form 10BE which contains details of the NGO like PAN and Name of the NGO, approval numbers u/s 80G & 35(1) along with details of the donations and donor.
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).
Form 8283 has two sections. If you must file Form 8283, you must complete either Section A or Section B depending on the type of property donated and the amount claimed as a deduction. Members in a pass-through entity completing their own Form 8283 should complete the same section of the Form (Section A or B)
If you donate stock to charity, you will need to report the stock donation with Form 8283 and include it with your tax return. The IRS offers more instructions for navigating this process.
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.
