How to Give

Toward the end of each year, many choose to review their long-range estate and financial plans. Wills, life insurance policies, retirement accounts, and other planning vehicles can offer special ways to leave a lasting legacy to your charitable interest. You can provide for meaningful future gifts while generating income, immediate income tax savings, and other benefits today.

As you consider your charitable gifts, remember that gifts made now can generate income tax deductions that could help reduce your tax bill. Delaying or reducing gifts this year may result in more taxes being due next April 15th. The amount of your savings depends on tax rates and the portion of your gifts you are allowed to deduct. With proposed changes in Federal tax laws, giving this year may never save you more.

If you are subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT), you may be surprised to learn that charitable deductions help reduce the amount of both the regular income tax and the AMT.
