Boost your tax savings by donating appreciated stock instead of cash

Are you charitably inclined and looking for a powerful year-end tax-saving strategy? Consider donating appreciated publicly traded stock you’ve held more than one year to a qualified charity. You may be able to enjoy two tax benefits: First, if you itemize deductions, you can claim a charitable deduction equal to the stock’s fair market value. Second, you won’t be subject to the capital gains tax you’d owe if you sold the stock. Donating appreciated stock can be especially beneficial if you’re facing the 3.8% net investment income tax or the top 20% long-term capital gains rate this year. To learn more about minimizing capital gains tax or maximizing charitable deductions, contact us today.

There’s still time for businesses to benefit from clean energy tax breaks

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act eliminates many business-related clean energy tax incentives. For example, the Qualified Commercial Clean Vehicle Credit is available only for vehicles that were acquired on or before Sept. 30, 2025. But businesses can still take advantage of other clean energy breaks if they act soon. The Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit is available for property that stores or dispenses clean-burning fuel or recharges electric vehicles if placed in service by June 30, 2026. Similarly, the deduction for energy-efficient improvements to commercial buildings is available for eligible property beginning construction by June 30, 2026. Contact us to learn more.

Making the most of the new deduction for seniors

Beginning in 2025, individuals age 65 or older generally can claim a new “senior” deduction of $6,000 under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). But if your 2025 modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) exceeds $75,000 ($150,000 if you’re a married joint filer), a MAGI-based phaseout will reduce (or may even eliminate) the deduction. If you’re at risk of the senior deduction phaseout, you can take steps before year end to reduce your MAGI and maximize your deduction. For example, harvest capital losses in taxable brokerage accounts to offset capital gains that would otherwise increase your MAGI. Contact us to discuss additional MAGI-reduction tips and other year-end tax planning strategies.
