(There is one exception, described next, for certain clothing and household items.) However, you generally will need an appraisal for donated property for which you claim a deduction of more than $5,000. There are exceptions. See Deductions of More Than $5,000, <\/em><\/span>later.<\/p>\n The weight given an appraisal depends on the completeness of the report, the qualifications of the appraiser, and the appraiser’s demonstrated knowledge of the donated property. An appraisal must give all the facts on which to base an intelligent judgment of the value of the property.<\/p>\n The appraisal will not be given much weight if:<\/p>\n It also tells us about the various dramas that are going deeprootsmag.org<\/a> buy generic viagra unmet.

See Household Goods<\/em><\/span> and Used Clothing<\/em><\/span>, earlier.<\/strong><\/p>\n Cost of appraisals.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n You may not take a charitable contribution deduction for fees you pay for appraisals of your donated property. However, these fees may qualify as a miscellaneous deduction, subject to the 2% limit, on Schedule A (Form 1040) if paid to determine the amount allowable as a charitable contribution.<\/strong><\/p>\n Deductions of More Than $5,000<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Generally, if the claimed deduction for an item or group of similar items of donated property is more than $5,000, you must get a qualified appraisal made by a qualified appraiser, and you must attach Section B of Form 8283 to your tax return. There are exceptions, discussed later. You should keep the appraiser’s report with your written records. Records are discussed in Publication 526.The phrase “similar items” means property of the same generic category or type (whether or not donated to the same donee), such as stamp collections, coin collections, lithographs, paintings, photographs, books, nonpublicly traded stock, nonpublicly traded securities other than nonpublicly traded stock, land, buildings, clothing, jewelry, furniture, electronic equipment, household appliances, toys, everyday kitchenware, china, crystal, or silver. For example, if you give books to three schools and you deduct $2,000, $2,500, and $900, respectively, your claimed deduction is more than $5,000 for these books. You must get a qualified appraisal of the books and for each school you must attach a fully completed Form 8283, Section B, to your tax return.<\/p>\n Exceptions.<\/strong><\/p>\n You do not need an appraisal if the property is:<\/p>\n Although an appraisal is not required for the types of property just listed, you must provide certain information about a donation of any of these types of property on Form 8283.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Because each piece of real estate is unique and its valuation is complicated, a detailed appraisal by a professional appraiser is necessary.<\/p>\n The appraiser must be thoroughly trained in the application of appraisal principles and theory. In some instances the opinions of equally qualified appraisers may carry unequal weight, such as when one appraiser has a better knowledge of local conditions.<\/p>\n The appraisal report must contain a complete description of the property, such as street address, legal description, and lot and block number, as well as physical features, condition, and dimensions. The use to which the property is put, zoning and permitted uses, and its potential use for other higher and better uses are also relevant.<\/p>\n In general, there are three main approaches to the valuation of real estate. An appraisal may require the combined use of two or three methods rather than one method only.<\/p>\n The comparable sales method compares the donated property with several similar properties that have been sold. The selling prices, after adjustments for differences in date of sale, size, condition, and location, would then indicate the estimated FMV of the donated property.<\/p>\n If the comparable sales method is used to determine the value of unimproved real property (land without significant buildings, structures, or any other improvements that add to its value), the appraiser should consider the following factors when comparing the potential comparable property and the donated property:<\/p>\n For each comparable sale, the appraisal must include the names of the buyer and seller, the deed book and page number, the date of sale and selling price, a property description, the amount and terms of mortgages, property surveys, the assessed value, the tax rate, and the assessor’s appraised FMV.<\/p>\n The comparable selling prices must be adjusted to account for differences between the sale property and the donated property. Because differences of opinion may arise between appraisers as to the degree of comparability and the amount of the adjustment considered necessary for comparison purposes, an appraiser should document each item of adjustment.<\/p>\n Only comparable sales having the least adjustments in terms of items and\/or total dollar adjustments should be considered as comparable to the donated property.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This method capitalizes the net income from the property at a rate that represents a fair return on the particular investment at the particular time, considering the risks involved. The key elements are the determination of the income to be capitalized and the rate of capitalization.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This method, used alone, usually does not result in a determination of FMV. Instead, it generally tends to set the upper limit of value, particularly in periods of rising costs, because it is reasonable to assume that an informed buyer will not pay more for the real estate than it would cost to reproduce a similar property. Of course, this reasoning does not apply if a similar property cannot be created because of location, unusual construction, or some other reason. Generally, this method serves to support the value determined from other methods. When the replacement cost method is applied to improved realty, the land and improvements are valued separately.<\/p>\n The replacement cost of a building is figured by considering the materials, the quality of workmanship, and the number of square feet or cubic feet in the building. This cost represents the total cost of labor and material, overhead, and profit. After the replacement cost has been figured, consideration must be given to the following factors:<\/p>\n Generally, if the claimed deduction for an item or group of similar items of donated property is more than $5,000, you must get a qualified appraisal made by a qualified appraiser. You must also complete Form 8283, Section B, and attach it to your tax return. See Deductions of More Than $5,000, <\/em><\/span>earlier.<\/p>\n A qualified appraisal is an appraisal document that:<\/p>\nBelow are excerpts from IRS Publication 561 (4\/2007), Determining the Value of Donated Property.
