Expert Solution

  • Firstly state history museum should be a qualified organization for the purposes of charitable contribution deduction, as it is a United states possession made exclusively for public purposes.
  • If property other than cash is made to a qualified organisation then generally the fair market value of the property can be considered for calculation of charitable contribution deduction. In this case paintings are inventory for Dean, hence Dean will be able to deduct only the basis of the painting.

  • Maximum deduction will be -
  • State university- cash - 50% of $15000 = $7500 (qualifying organisation with 50% benefit)
  • Red cross- cash - 50% of $14500= $7250 (same reason)
  • City medical center - 50%- Dell stock is in loss so not capital gain property - so FMV or basis- Lower would be considered- $17000 so 50% of that = $8500
  • State history museum - 50% of 5000 as explained above i.e. $2500
Deduction $
State university 7500
Red cross 7250
City medical center 8500
State history museum 2500
Total deduction $25750
