RECYCLING >> CHARITABLE DONATIONS - TAX INFORMATION

SDFF does not determine the value of a donated computer or other electronic equipment. The donor, not the recipient charity, must determine the "fair market value”.

What are the tax benefits to corporate donors?

The IRS code provides for a tax deduction for property donated to a charitable organization such as San Diego Futures Foundation under applicable rules and regulations. For Corporate donors, tax deductions are usually limited to the amount of the donor's tax basis in the property contributed (Exceptions may apply, consult your tax advisor). The donation letter provided to you by SDFF will reflect the year in which our organization receives the equipment. Warehousing and shipping costs are also tax deductible under applicable rules and regulations.

What are the tax benefits for donations by individuals?

For individuals, the charitable deduction for contributions of technology equals the fair market value (retail used value in the current market place) of the donated property. The donation is tax deductible for the year in which the organization receives the equipment. Shipping costs are also tax deductible under applicable rules and regulations.
