If you've invested in stock or real estate over the past few years, the news is that many of our holdings may have increased in valve. The bad news is the capital gains tax that you will owe when you sell these appreciated assets

But there is a way to completely and legally avoid all the capital gains tax on your investments while earning a current year tax deduction on the asset’s full value: by donating your stock to Prevent Child Abuse Illinois.

Congress has recently extended some very advantageous rules that apply to contributed investments such as stocks or bonds that have appreciated in value. You receive a full income tax deduction based upon the current market value AND you completely avoid ever having to pay capital gains tax on your donated investment. In addition, your charitable contribution may also help you avoid estate taxes.

The IRS Code was specifically designed to make it advantageous for more Americans to contribute to the charitable causes they wish to support. We hope that you will consider this method of giving to assist with the many programs of Prevent Child Abuse Illinois.

Prevent Child Abuse Illinois would be pleased to discuss the advantages of making a gift of appreciated assets such as stock—or other planned giving opportunities—with you, your lawyer or your tax advisor. Simply call our Development Director at (217) 522-1129.
