The value of the gift is determined by the market value of the stock on the day of the sale. This is the value of your contribution. EXAMPLE - If you purchased 100 shares of a stock at $50.00 per share for a total of $5,000, and on the day of the stock sale the value of the 100 shares is $7,500, your contribution is $7,500, but the actual cost to you is only $5,000. You do not pay tax on the appreciation. To qualify for a 2010 contribution, the transfer must be completed by December 31, 2010.
