An Immediate Charitable Deduction
|
|
A gift to a charitable remainder trust qualifies for an immediate income tax deduction (subject to limitations), even though income will be paid to you (and/or other beneficiaries) for life.
The exact amount of the charitable deduction depends on the:
- Value of the property transferred to the trust
- Amount of income benefits that are payable each year to individual beneficiaries
- Approximate length of time the income benefits will be paid
- Prevailing interest rates at the time the gift is made
Despite the tax and financial benefits of a charitable remainder trust, you should consider this kind of arrangement only if you and your advisors determine it is compatible with your overall estate, tax, and financial plan.
