Chuck Zellner, SCORE Volunteer and Former District Director - SCORE District 202

"I had a small insurance policy on my life, one that my parents paid 25 cents per week when I was a kid. I donated this policy to the SCORE Foundation by changing the beneficiary. I figure my kids and grand kids will never miss it! I also have some old variable annuities that I bought many years ago...a mistake! I do not intend to cash them in because of the hugh capital gains and tax on the income.

My financial guy recently reminded me that, unlike stocks, when I go to heaven the kids will NOT receive the annuities on a stepped up cost basis. The IRS and State will tax them on all the gains going back to the original cost basis.

I intend to name the Foundation as the beneficiary on some of these annuities. This is just a small way I intend to give back and support SCORE so it can continue to grow and help small business entrepreneurs in the future. "
