Tax Deductible Property Donations

Have unwanted property, vacant land, or an inherited home you no longer wish to manage? Donating real estate to an IRS-approved 501(c)(3) nonprofit like Real Estate with Causes allows you to claim a substantial tax deduction, eliminate ongoing carrying costs, and completely avoid capital gains taxes. By transforming a non-producing or highly appreciated asset into a charitable gift, you bypass the hassles of the traditional real estate market while directly funding vital community programs and nationwide causes.

Your Tax Deduction via Fair Market Value

Individual donors can typically deduct the full Fair Market Value (FMV) of long-term capital gain real property, generally capped at 30% of your AGI. Click here to learn about maximizing your deductions.

Avoid Capital Gains Taxes Completely

Avoid federal and state capital gains liabilities and depreciation recapture entirely. Pay 0% in capital gains tax by transferring the deed directly to us.

Eliminate Costly Carrying Liabilities

Relieve yourself immediately from the financial burdens of property taxes, municipal assessments, insurance premiums, and ongoing maintenance.

Long-term capital gain real property donations unlock a dual-benefit tax strategy. Individual donors can typically deduct the full Fair Market Value (FMV) of the real estate rather than just the cost basis. This deduction is generally capped at 30% of your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI). If your property’s value exceeds this annual cap, the IRS allows you to carry forward and deduct the remaining balance for up to five consecutive tax years.

💡 The Cost Basis Alternative

In specific tax scenarios, donors may elect a customized filing option to deduct only the property’s original purchase cost basis. Choosing this alternative method allows you to raise your annual IRS deduction cap up to 50% of your AGI. Always consult your CPA to see which calculation optimizes your portfolio.
