Box 4c is the gross proceeds from the sale of the item by the charitable organization.

| I'm a little confused about the exception of not being limited to the gross proceeds of the sale if the donee organization performs material improvements before the sale. One of our local charities seems to think that donors will be better off donating to them than to other charities because they fix up the cars before selling them. To me this would imply that the FMV at the time of donation was LESS than the sale proceeds. http://www.syracuse.com/search/index....xml?syrnesreg -- Don EA in Upstate NY << ================================================== ===== > << The foregoing is intended for educational purposes only > << and does NOT constitute legal OR professional advice. > << > << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting > << messages to this newsgroup are at www.asktax.org. > << Copyright (2005) - All rights reserved. > << ================================================== ===== > |
