Top Tax-Savings Year-End Strategies for Charitable Giving

Our non-profit is Mini World of Trains, Fed EIN# 27-2415970, doing business as Model Trains Station. During the year, many people look for ways of combining their desire to help Model Trains Station and other causes they believe in with their desire to save on taxes. Generally, if you itemize your deductions, making charitable contributions can decrease your tax bill. Since high-income earners pay tax at higher rates, they may enjoy a particularly large tax benefit from charitable contributions. However, if you are among the estimated 90 percent of individuals who will not itemize because of the higher standard deduction implemented by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, there are several ways you may still realize tax savings from your gifts.

you can send your tax exempt donations to our non-profit by these methods:

1.  QCD -- Qualified Charitable Distribution from an IRA

If you are over 70 1/2, this can satisfy not only your charitable goals but also your required minimum distribution for the tax year without any tax consequences. Donate to Mini World of Trains, Fed EIN# 27-2415970.

2.  Give long-term appreciated securities, rather than cash

A gift appreciated property such as securities or real estate is a popular alternative to a gift cash and generates a double tax benefit.  In addition to receiving a charitable tax deduction for its full fair-market value, you escape tax on the capital-gain element in the property. Donate to Mini World of Trains, Fed EIN# 27-2415970.
