There was a lot of commotion about how much President Trump paid in federal income tax recently
Most financially literate people know that (if done correctly) this is legal
There is also a “tax hack” you can implement through stocks

*Donating to charity is tax-deductible
*Most folks donate cash to charity and then write it off on their taxes
*A more efficient way to reduce your taxes is through donating stocks



*There are 3 major benefits:





*You would have to sell a “winner”
(works best if you were intending to sell the stock in the first place)
*You can only donate stock(s) worth up to 30% of your adjusted gross income (AGI)


*Donating a stock versus cash to charity can provide benefits for both you and the organization
*There are more details to consider that maybe Money Twitter’s resident tax expert @AskForTaxAdvice can provide via a more detailed thread
