The Tax Picture for a Lee County Property Gift
Donors who itemize can generally deduct the fair market value of Lee County real estate held longer than a year, up to 30% of adjusted gross income, with a five-year carryforward for any excess.
A qualified appraisal and IRS Form 8283 substantiate the deduction. This is general information, not tax advice — confirm the specifics with your own advisor.
