One Documented Deduction

A Echelon sale generates a stack of settlement paperwork. A donation produces a single qualified appraisal and a charity acknowledgment letter — the two documents that substantiate the gift at tax time.

The Tax Picture for a Echelon Property Gift

Donors who itemize can generally deduct the fair market value of Echelon 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.
