The Charitible Dimension
The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 contains good news for those who enjoy making gifts, either to Temple Beth Emet's Capital campaign, "Building for the 21st Century," or to other worthwhile causes.
Congress has continued the long-standing incentives to make gifts in the form of properties other than cash that have increased in value since you purchased them. Such gifts are generally deductible at full market value, regardless of your cost basis, provided they are held for a certain period prior to donation. Gifts of appreciated assets therefore continue to yield dual tax benefits. You are not only entitled to a deduction for the full fair market value of the property, you also avoid capital gains tax on the "paper profits" on the property.
Contact the Rabbi's office at 680-1882 for full details.Caterer's Corner
