So a rental is a "leasehold interest"?

It will depend on how they reassign their personnel?

It there were leasehold improvements involved, I agree, but in the case of a rental is it a capital transaction?

Catherine, assuming you still use Drake, you enter the gross amount in Box 1 and Box 2. Then click the link at the top of the entry screen that says "special tax treatments" and enter the amount of the QCD on that page. If you do this you may trigger a CP 2000 -

IRS Pub 526 "Partial Interest in Property Generally, you can't deduct a charitable contribution of less than your entire interest in property. Right to use property. A contribution of the right to use property is a contribution of less than your entire interest in that property and isn't deductible. Example 1. You own a 10-story office building and donate rent-free use of the top floor to a qualified organization. Because you still own the building, you have contributed a partial interest in the property and can't take a deduction for the contribution. Example 2. You own a vacation home at the beach and sometimes rent it to others. For a fundraising auction at church, you donated the right to use the vacation home for 1 week. At the auction, the church received and accepted a bid equal to the fair rental value of the home for 1 week. You can't claim a deduction because of the partial interest rule. The auction winner can't claim a deduction either, because of the received benefit equal to the amount of the auction winner’s payment."
