How It Works

John purchased $5,000 worth of XYZ Stock, which is now worth $10,000. He can use this $10,000 to make a gift to River Network and realize the tax savings. John may take a $10,000 charitable deduction on his federal income taxes, saving between $1,000 to $3,500 in federal income tax (depending on his tax bracket) and avoiding a capital gain tax of $750.
