Gift Planning can provide solutions to real life problems,such as:
Would you like to sell real estate or stock that has grown in value, but are discouraged by the amount of capital gains tax you would have to pay? - Donate appreciated stock or all or a portion of the real estate, instead of using cash for your gift. The income tax deduction is for the current value of the stock or real estate, and you pay no capital gains tax on the difference between what you paid for the asset and what it is worth today.
