FAQ
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.
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.
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.
Ing to the IRS, any kind of donation above $250 should require a donation receipt. The same applies to stock gifts/donations.
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.
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.
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.
