A transparent, four-step process ensures a smooth transition from property to philanthropy. (The exact process may differ between organizations, these are the general phases)

Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
Yes, though every owner on the title generally must agree to and sign the transfer. Jointly owned and inherited properties are common donations once the co-owners are aligned.
Yes. The IRS requires a qualified appraisal to substantiate a real estate deduction over $5,000, and the appraisal must be completed close to the donation date. The receiving charity can point you toward qualified appraisers.
Fair market value for a real estate deduction is established by a qualified appraisal, not by an online estimate or the tax-assessed value. The IRS requires that appraisal for property gifts above $5,000.
Selling a depreciated rental can trigger depreciation recapture taxed at a higher rate. Donating the property instead generally avoids that recapture, though the deduction may be adjusted for it — a point worth confirming with your tax advisor.
Yes. You do not need to live in Tazewell County — or in Illinois — to donate property there. The receiving charity handles the transfer, and documents can typically be signed remotely.
