Tax Advantages of Charitable Contributions 2013

Today is a great time to change a person’s life by making a gift to Hearts.

The IRA Charitable Rollover ends December 31, 2013.  If you are age 70 ½ or older, you can make a tax-free gift of up to $100,000 to Hearts via direct transfer from your IRA by December 31, 2013. If you don’t need your required mandatory IRA distribution, the charitable rollover is an excellent way to avoid taxes and make an immediate impact in the lives of people with special needs in Santa Barbara County.

Year-end is almost here which means the 2013 tax season is just around the corner. The changes resulting from the
American Taxpayer Relief Act (ATRA) of 2012 includes a number of provisions that are favorable for philanthropy and charitable giving. Capital gains (long-term) taxes may be avoided through gifts of appreciated securities.

Thank you for your support of Hearts. Together, we can make a difference.
Donate now to support Hearts.
