Gift of stock for grads and weddings offers growing help
Elizabeth M Fowler notes gift stock can build credit and interest young owners in business trends. Donors should favor stock near its purchase price to avoid transfer of gains or losses amid tax rules. If a father with a gain dies before selling, taxes may be avoided. gifting a loss stock transfers a reduced basis to the recipient.
