Here are some tips for real estate donors:

• The following tips apply if the donated property is owned in the donors name; with the donor’s spouse or other persons.
• If you have held the property for more than one year, it is classified as long-term capital gain property.
• Donors can deduct the full fair market value of the donated property.
• Charitable contribution deduction is limited to thirty percent (30.00%) of donor’s adjusted gross income.
• Excess contribution value may be carried forward for up to five years.
• If the property has been depreciated, the fair market value must be reduced by its accumulated depreciation through the date of contribution.
• Fair market value is most commonly determined by an independent appraisal.
• If donor elects to deduct the cost basis of the donated property, donors are allowed a deduction of fifty percent (50.00%) of donors’ adjusted gross income.
• Excesses here again can be carried forward up to five years.
• Which method donor elects is dependent on the cost basis in the property donated, tax bracket, the age and health of the donor and whether donor plans to make future contributions.
