What happens if I donate my QOF interest to charity?

Is that considered an inclusion event?

    A charitable gift of a QOF interest is considered an inclusion event to prevent a taxpayer's windfall. If you get a full deduction without an inclusion event, then you avoid recognizing the gain and get the write-off. The government considers this potentially abusive.

    This creates an inclusion event. The deferred income from the original investment is recognized.
