Straight answers on donating real estate, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
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.
Residential homes, vacant land, commercial buildings, and multi-family properties can all qualify. Condition and title issues are addressed during review rather than disqualifying a property upfront.
Yes. A gift of real property to a qualified 501(c)(3) is generally deductible at fair market value if you itemize and have held the property more than a year. A qualified appraisal and IRS Form 8283 document the deduction.
For property held more than a year and given to a public charity, the deduction is generally the fair market value set by a qualified appraisal. The actual tax savings depend on your appraised value, income, and filing situation, so confirm the figure with your tax advisor.
Yes. Property held by a company, partnership, or trust can be donated, though the deduction rules differ from those for individuals. An entity considering a gift should review the specifics with its tax advisor.
