Tax-Efficient Charitable Giving

For those of you that are interested in giving, let’s try to do so as tax efficiently as possible! In this episode of Financial Clarity for Doctors, Rachelle Vanderzanden and Corey Janoff walk through a few ways you can give money to the causes that are near and dear to your heart and pay a little less in taxes at the same time. Often, the larger the gift, the more tax benefits, but even small gifts can potentially have tax benefits.

A few ways to get tax deductions for charitable contributions include:

• Smaller gifts to qualifying non-profits if you already itemize on your taxes.
• Gifting appreciated stock from non-qualified accounts.
• Gifting money to donor-advised funds.
• Setting up private foundations.
• Bequeathing money from a potentially taxable estate.
• Setting up a trust specifically for charitable giving.

Some of your tax money may go to causes you support, but choosing your own causes can be much more rewarding and potentially lessen that tax burden. Listen to the full episode to learn more!
