Gifts of Appreciated Securities - By giving appreciated securities you have owned for more than a year, you enhance your tax benefits.
- You receive a tax deduction for the value at the time of your gift and you avoid the capital gains tax that you would have owed if you sold the stock.
- Please be sure to contact your investment advisor now because most firms have strict rules regarding the time you must contact them to make year-end security gifts. Year-end is also a time when investment advisors make portfolio changes to rebalance for diversification purposes making this a perfect time to identify appreciated assets for gifting.
