Donating stock instead of cash can be a smart way to express your generosity during this extended holiday season. You can donate long-term appreciated stock you’ve held for more than a year. Not only does HFS get to benefit from a valuable item, but you also get to claim the fair market value as an itemized deduction and avoid paying the capital-gains tax that would result if you sold it and donated the cash. A simple, yet effective strategy.
