* The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 imposes on Williams College a 1.4% excise tax on net investment income starting July 1, 2018. According to 2019 IRS guidance, this tax extends to the realized gains on sales of gifts of appreciated securities. The gain is calculated based on “carryover basis” – which is your total cost basis in the donated securities. To assist the College in calculating the tax liability arising from this new tax, we are requesting that you provide to us the total cost basis for your securities. If you do not know the cost basis, the College will use a zero cost basis when calculating the realized gain on the sale of the security. Any information you can provide can assist us to calculate and potentially reduce the effect of the excise tax. The College very much appreciates you sharing this information.
