What Are The Benefits For Donors?

Donors receive a receipt for a tax deduction equal to the highest real estate appraisal of the donated property.  The usual headaches associated with selling real estate with various challenges are eliminated.  Donors can feel good about giving back to their community without stretching their budgets.

How do I Establish "Fair Market Value"?

The following rules apply in order to establish a "fair market value"  acceptable to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS):
The IRS requires that all property donated that has a value of five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) or more have a "qualified appraisal" to establish a "fair market value".  The appraisal must be performed by a "qualified appraiser"  and must be attached to Form 8283 "Noncash Charitable Contributions"  and made a part of your tax return.  It is suggested that you keep a copy of the appraisal as part of your record of contribution.
