Session Details
9 am - 10 am: The Wacky World of Gift Acceptance Policies: Get Yours in Order Before the End of the Year (so you know if you should accept that timeshare!) |
An interactive discussion on the reason for and value of gift acceptance policies. The intent is to assist charitable planners and their organizations to more easily make decisions about what gifts to accept (and what gifts to turn down and why) as we move into the end of the charitable year. This presentation will focus on the nuts and bolts of policies and how good policies can assist you and your leadership in analyzing whether to take some out-of-the-ordinary gifts, such as gifts from cannabis stores, cryptocurrency, cemetery plots, and other unique assets donors want to give you.
|
10:15 am - 11:15 am: Donating Appreciated Stock to Charity? Timing is Everything.
|
When a business owner considers selling their business, an option to minimize the tax impacts of a sale that is often discussed is for the owner to donate a portion of the appreciated stock to a charity before the sale is complete. This presentation will discuss the Tax Court's holding in the Estate of Scott M. Hoensheid, et al. v. Commissioner (T.C. Memo 2023-34) and why timing matters when donating appreciated stock from the sale of a company.
