How Your California Tax Deduction Works
The IRS allows donors to deduct the current Fair Market Value (FMV) of their donated property — not the original purchase price.
Example: Purchased in 1971 for $92,000 Current value: $992,000 Your deduction is based on $992,000.
We provide:
-
Qualified appraisals
-
IRS‑ready documentation
-
Audit‑ready records
-
Licensed, compliant transfer handling
This ensures you receive the maximum allowable deduction with full confidence.
