Mark your calendar for tax savings!

As we near the end of 2013, many of us will reflect on our past accomplishments and new opportunities.

For those who are committed to supporting programs that help you explore new worlds and new ideas, a year-end contribution to Prairie Public offers a special opportunity. Your gift not only will support programs that enrich your life and your community, but also may offer tax advantages if given by December 31.

Here are some ideas worth discussing with your attorney or financial advisor:

Cash Gift: The easiest way to increase your charitable deduction is through a gift of cash. Make sure your envelope is postmarked by December 31. Keep in mind, too, that some employers will match charitable gifts.

Stock or Real Estate Gift: A gift of stock or property is sometimes more tax-wise than one of cash, depending on how long you’ve owned it and the tax laws where you live.

Charitable IRA Gift (set to expire Dec. 31): If you are age 70½ or older, you may contribute directly from your IRA to Prairie Public by using your mandatory IRA withdrawal (up to $100,000 per year), completely

Please remember Prairie Public Broadcasting in your will, trust, or general estate plans.

free of federal income tax. To qualify, your contribution must be transferred directly from your IRA administrator to Prairie Public.

North Dakota Tax Credit: The state of North Dakota allows a 40% state income tax credit for individual contributions of $5,000 or more to the endowments of nonprofits like Prairie Public. The maximum credit is $10,000 per year per taxpayer, or $20,000 per year per couple filing jointly. Businesses, too, receive a 40% state income tax credit with a maximum credit of $10,000.

Bequest: While you’re considering your 2013 income tax savings, we hope you will consider including Prairie Pubic Broadcasting in your will or other estate plans. You will leave a legacy that will ensure the continued success of Prairie Public’s programs, allowing future generations to have access to a world of ideas.

U.S. and Canadian tax laws differ, so consult your tax advisor to clarify any questions you may have.
