Tax Implications and Benefits of Contributing Appreciated Securities

  		• A contribution of appreciated securities can result in substantial financial benefits to both Jefferies Family Scholarship and you.
     
  		• Under certain circumstances, a donor is entitled to a federal income tax deduction for the full fair market value of stock that is contributed, without incurring a capital gains tax on the unrealized appreciation. Accordingly, this type of gift may have a lower after-tax cost to you than an equivalent gift of cash.
     
  		• The tax rules are complex and, accordingly, certain requirements and limitations* should be noted and discussed with a qualified tax advisor.
