Cowboy Athletics Inc. filed a certificate of appeal Monday in response to summary judgement that blocked its attempt to recover $33 million. taking out life insurance failed on Gift aging fundraising plan supporters plan Oklahoma State University officials said a month ago that the university would appeal the ruling against OSU and its top booster, T. Boone Pickens, and their attempt to recover about $33 million in life-insurance premiums in the failed Gift of a Lifetime fundraising plan. The program involved taking out life-insurance policies on 27 aging school supporters with the university as the beneficiary. Pickens and Oklahoma State University s athletic fundraising foundation filed the Payne County lawsuit in 2010, alleging agents for the insurance company used manipulated data and inflated the benefits of the life insurance strategy. Associate District Judge Stephen Kistler ruled in favor of Lincoln National Life Insurance Co and several co defendants this week 19
20 1913: Federal Income Tax enacted 1917: first charitable deduction limited to 15% of taxable income 1924: 100% deduction for those who contribute 90% or more of taxable income 1969: current 50% / 30% AGI limits replace the 15% / 100% limits : limited deductions temporarily allowed for non-itemizers The charitable deduction is politically difficult to defend: deductions benefit the wealthy Taxpayers will react to changes in the law by adjusting their behavior to account for increased costs of giving The poor, the needy, and others who benefit from charitable organizations will be most directly affected by reductions in tax incentives for charitable giving 20
21 Senate 100 seats Democrats hold majority, but not control House of Representatives 435 seats Republicans have solid control A Congress runs for two years To become law legislation must be: Introduced in each chamber Referred to committee for study and action Passed in identical form by a majority vote Signed by the President All within the two-year term of a Congress Ways & Means Committee Chair: Dave Camp Senate Finance Committee Chair: Max Baucus 21
22 Tax reform How extensive? Will Bush Tax Cuts be allowed to expire in 2013? Will we maintain a progressive tax system? The new logic: reduce tax code spending to increase revenue without increasing taxes Continuing concern and growing acceptance of abuses as the norm New questions about fairness and effectiveness of charitable deduction Non-profit reform a legislative trifecta Consider gift of $10,000 FMV stock with $2,000 basis from a donor in the highest tax bracket: Proposed Contribution $10,000 $10,000 $10,000 Income Tax saved 3,960 3,500 2,800 Cap Gains Tax avoided 1,600 1,200 1,200 After Tax Cost of Gift $4,400 $5,300 $6,000 The real after tax cost of this contribution has increased $1,600, or 36% 22
23 Calls to Cut Spending in the Tax Code and to reduce Tax Expenditures Option 1 The Zero Plan Eliminate all tax expenditures (e.g. all itemized deductions) Option 2 Reform Limit charitable deduction with 2% AGI floor Triple Standard Deduction amount Establish three rates: 15%, 25%, and 35% Capital gains & dividends taxed as ordinary income Shelved for lack of consensus at end of 2010 A tax subsidy that: Costs the treasury $46 billion per year Is not equitable Subsidizes wealthy taxpayers more than others Subsidizes charitable giving to some organizations (chosen by the wealthy) more than others 23
24 AGI under $100,000 3% 1% 7% 3% 10% 9% 67% Religious Combined Appeal Social Service Health Education Arts Other AGI $100,000 to $200,000 6% 2% 6% 12% 6% 57% Religious Combined Appeal Social Service Health Education Arts Other 11% 24
25 15% AGI $200,000 to $1 million 8% 23% 11% Religious Combined Appeal Social Service Health Education Arts Other 32% 5% 6% AGI Over $1 million 10% 17% 15% 4% 4% Religious Combined Appeal Social Service Health Education Arts Other 25% 25% 25
26 Retain deduction for itemizers only but establish floor (either $500/$1000 or 2%) Allow all taxpayers to claim deduction (with or without a floor) Replace deduction with a credit (at either 25% or 15%) with or without a floor All options would reduce charitable giving but the reduction in giving would be less than the reduction in subsidy would reduce both the total amount donated to charity and the total federal tax subsidy but the reduction in the subsidy would exceed the reduction in charitable contributions thus increasing federal revenue 26
27 The charitable sector promotes and ensures the well-being and vitality of the nation. Reduction in tax incentives for charitable giving will produce catastrophic consequences for the public by crippling the charitable sector. NCPG Resolution, 1998 Donors are plentiful even if they cannot give as often Americans are generous especially at the lower end Donors are willing to consider unusual gifts Tax changes may provide new opportunities New attitude of community aligns with philanthropy 27
