Securities & Cryptocurrency
A gift of appreciated securities or cryptocurrency that you have held for more than one year is frequently the most economical way to give. You will be eligible to take a federal income tax deduction equal to the fair market value of the stock or cryptocurrency on the date of the gift for up to 30 percent of your adjusted gross income and will not have to recognize the appreciation as capital gain.
