Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
Form 8283 is the IRS form for reporting noncash charitable contributions. A real estate gift is reported in its Section B, signed by both the appraiser and the receiving charity, and filed with your return for the year of the donation.
Yes. Undeveloped land, empty lots, and parcels around Suffolk County are all eligible. Land is often a strong candidate to donate because it produces no income while still generating a property tax bill.
The deduction applies to the tax year in which the title transfer is completed. Donors aiming to claim it in a particular year often start early enough to leave room for the appraisal and title review before December 31.
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.

Yes. Farmland, ranch land, and other agricultural property can be donated like any other real estate. Acreage with crops, leases, or water rights is reviewed by the receiving charity during assessment.
