Personal Deductions Form - Indiana University: Fill & Download for Free

A2AI have no personal insights concerning Mr. Zuckerberg's motivations generally, other than to note that if his Facebook shares have a value of $45 billion and he gives away 99%, that leaves him with a value of $450 million, which should be plenty for his family and descendants for generations to come.As concerns the LLC as a vehicle, a December 2, 2015 Wall Street Journal article (Mark Zuckerberg Tests New Philanthropic Model) was quite informative. Quoting substantial portions of that article (emphasis added):By creating a limited-liability company rather than a foundation, Mr. Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, can support their goals of promoting “personalized learning, curing disease, connecting people and building strong communities,” while sidestepping some limits of tax law and public-disclosure rules.The move highlights an emerging model of philanthropy that extends beyond grant-making foundations. The fusion of corporate and philanthropic goals and structures “reflects part of the Silicon Valley ethos,” said Amir Pasic, dean of the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy at Indiana University. “There is an impatience with established forms of philanthropy.”.....The initiative is unlikely to run like a traditional private foundation. Mr. Zuckerberg and Dr. Chan will rely on experts and advisory boards for guidance on where their investments “can have the largest impact,” a Facebook spokeswoman said Tuesday.A LLC lets the couple direct some money to charity and some to activities such as lobbying and campaign contributions that wouldn’t qualify for tax deductions and might threaten the nonprofit status of a foundation, said Lawrence Zelenak, a tax-law professor at Duke University.Jeffery Yablon, a lawyer with Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP in Washington, D.C., who specializes in tax-exempt entities, said the LLC will have to publicly disclose little information about its activities and holdings.Mr. Zuckerberg and Dr. Chan will still be responsible for taxes when the LLC sells Facebook shares. But they will be able to move money into and out of the LLC without additional tax consequences, Mr. Yablon said.The tax benefits of a foundation may be less important to Mr. Zuckerberg and Dr. Chan, because the tax code limits the value of the benefit of charitable contributions to a percentage of adjusted gross income.Because Mr. Zuckerberg takes a $1 salary and Facebook pays no dividends, the couple appears unlikely to earn anywhere close to $45 billion in income over their lifetime, which would make it difficult for them to deduct all the donations for income tax purposes. The couple could live off shares they have already sold and perhaps borrow against their remaining holdings.
