If a donor is willing to put up $20M for the buy-out, he will be making a donation to TAF. He will be getting a $20M deduction on his federal and state income tax returns. If he has that kind of money, his federal tax bracket is 39.6% and his state tax bracket is 6%. After his reduction in federal and state income taxes, his true out of pocket cost is only $10.88 million.

Are you sure that he can treat the entire $20M as a deduction, or is it limited to a percentage of it?

On the Money Board, 2 + 2 = 4.

On Poli Talk, 2 + 2 = potato.

Wasn't it just last year that everyone was bitching about TAF donations not being tax deductible anymore?

you are limited to 50% of your income so unless his AGI was 40M for the year he can't deduct it all this year


also with that kind of income it probably consist of a lot of capital gains which are taxed at a way lower percentage

most people, even with 20mm to throw around, don't earn that in one year

There are limits to how much you can deduct, but they're very high.
For most people, the limits on charitable contributions don't apply. Only if you contribute more than 20% of your adjusted gross income to charity is it necessary to be concerned about donation limits. If the contribution is made to a public charity, the deduction is limited to 50% of your contribution base. For example, if you have an adjusted gross income of $100,000, your deduction limit for that year is $50,000.


be careful getting your tax/investment/any advice whatsoever from a collegiate athletics message board

It's payable over 8 years too so TAF will be collecting interest on the money
