Farkas - waiting for him to send back the engagement letter
Zuckerman - am reviewing his documents
Your question - If you contribute an installment debt owed to you to a charitable trust, you may be entitled to an upfront
deduction for the current fair market value of the debt.
A couple of caveats -
1. If the charitable trust is a private foundation as distinguished, for example, from a charitable remainder trust that will
terminate in favor of public charities, your deduction will be limited to your basis in the debt.
2. If the installment debt was acquired by you in exchange for appreciated property, as the payments are made on the
debt, your contribution of the debt to the trust will be a gain recognition event under section 4538. If this is the case,
caveat #1 is probably not a concern, but would want to do a little research to make sure.
3. If payments on the installment debt would be ordinary income to you, I will have to give more thought to your
question.
