Who Should Donate Real Estate to Charity
![]() |
In reality, around 10% of the real estate donations we receive are from those that really want to help us to continue supporting important charitable causes. The remaining 90% of our donors also wish to help, but ultimately seek a current market value tax deduction. It goes without saying that in today’s world the benefits of an IRS tax deduction is quite an attractive prospect. Why not? And you can make a positive difference for others less fortunate as well.
Tax Deduction = Current Market Value
The size
of the tax deduction is determined by the current market value of the property,
as opposed to the cost of the property when it was purchased. So if
you purchased your property in 1968 for $92,000 and today in 2009 it is worth
$812,000, the current value is what you base your tax deduction on and in this
case it will be quite substantial.
