The Gift of Securities

Tax Advantages: By making a gift of long-term appreciated securities (held by you for more than one year) to Epiphany School, you can avoid the capital gains taxes that you would incur if you sold the securities. You income tax deduction is equal to the fair market value of the securities at the time of your gift. Your deduction is generally limited to 30% of your adjusted gross income for that year; however, you may carry over excess contributions for up to five additional years.

Valuation: The effective date of a gift of securities is the date that you give instructions to your bank or broker or the postmarked date on a mailed certificate. The value of your gift is based on the mean between the high and low quotations at the end of the trading day on which you relinquish control of your securities.
