Tax-Advantaged Giving Opportunities

CARES Act Tax Deduction

The tax-advantaged opportunities for charitable giving passed under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act in 2020 have been extended through 2021! Your income tax deduction for cash gifts in 2020 also applies to your gifts in 2021. If you no longer itemize your personal deductions, the recent CARES Act allows you to deduct up to $300 in cash donations to charity on your 2020 tax return, despite taking the standard deduction. Separately, if you itemize your deductions, you are now eligible to deduct donations to Doylestown Health up to 100% of your adjusted gross income (AGI) for cash contributions in 2020 and 2021. This raises the prior deduction cap of 65% of AGI for cash contributions.

IRA Charitable Distribution

You can make a gift directly from your IRA to Doylestown Health without having to recognize the transfer as income. To qualify, you must be at least age 70½ and the transfer must be made by your plan provider directly to Doylestown Health Foundation. The distribution is tax-free and counts toward your required minimum distribution. You can donate any amount from your IRA up to $100,000 annually, all of which will help Doylestown Health prepare for its second century of care.

Gifts of Appreciated Securities

Long-term appreciated securities, such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds can be donated directly to Doylestown Health Foundation. You will receive a charitable tax deduction for the gift’s fair market value if you itemize deductions on your tax return and have owned the securities for at least one year. You will also avoid federal and state tax on the capital gains. Gifts of appreciated securities allow you to make a larger gift to Doylestown Health with assets you bought at a lower cost.
