FAQ
Tax-Return Filing For a donation of publicly traded stock, you do not need an appraisal, but you do need to report the donation on Section A of Form 8283.
Record the Donation For accounting purposes, publicly traded stock should be counted at the average of the high and low selling prices on the gift date (the date you receive it).
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
