Question: A donor with $ 1 , 0 0 0 , 0 0 0 in developable raw land with a basis of $ 1 0 0

A donor with $1,000,000 in developable raw land with a basis of $100,000 plans to sell the land, invest in income producing securities, spend 8% of the remaining value each year for the rest of her life, and leave the rest to charity. Which of the following is NOT a potential tax advantage of doing this through a Charitable Remainder Trust as compared with keeping the assets and giving to charity through her will?
1.
The donor will not need to pay income taxes on any income earned beyond the 8% being taken annually to the donor.
2.
The donor will receive a charitable estate tax deduction for the value of any property that is transferred to the charity.
3.
Because the donor pays no capital gains tax, the entire $1,000,000 value can be invested to generate income rather than only the amount left over after paying taxes on the $900,000 of gain.
4.
No capital gains tax will be due at the sale of the land if the property is sold by the CRT
5.
The donor can receive an immediate income tax deduction for the present value of the projected remainder interest that will go to charity at death with the CRT.
