Tax Consequences of Donating Employee Stock. S-Corp Shares and Losing S-Corp Election. ESPP shares can be an important source for charitable giving, but they are complicated, and donors need to understand the rules and consequences. Shares acquired through an Employee Stock Purchase Plan ESPP are entitled to special tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code. That special treatment includes deferral of recognition of gain on the shares options the shares are sold rather than recognizing any gain upon the purchaseand the potential for the gain other than the discount amount to be donating as capital gains subject to capital gains rates, rather than as ordinary income. In order to achieve those benefits, the employee may not make a "disposition" of the shares — including a transfer by means of a charitable stock — within one year from the date of purchase or 2 years from the date of the grant, whichever is later. If the ESPP shares have been held for the required holding period, then upon any "disposition" — including a charitable contribution — the employee will be treated as stock received compensation income taxed at ordinary income rates equal to the amount of the discount, and will also be entitled to a charitable contribution deduction for the full fair market value of the shares at the time of the contribution. If the employee has not held the shares for the required options period, any disposition is treated as a "disqualifying disposition" under the Internal Revenue Code. Subsequent gain or loss would be treated as capital gain or lossand almost inevitably short-term capital gain or loss given the 1 year holding period requirement. Since short-term capital gain property is not entitled to the beneficial tax treatment upon charitable contributions as long-term capital gain property, the amount of the deduction for making a charitable contribution would be reduced by the amount of unrealized gain that would not constitute long-term capital gain.
