Here is a tax-smart way to make an impact to TMF using your qualified retirement plan. The IRA charitable rollover (also called the Qualified Charitable Distribution, or QCD) is a great way to make a tax-free gift to TMF and satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution.
How Do I Qualify?
- You must be 70 ½ years or older at the time of the gift.
- Gifts must go directly from your IRA to TMF.
- Gifts must come from a traditional IRA or Roth IRA account.
- For 2024, total QCD gifts cannot exceed $105,000 per donor.
Benefits of an IRA Charitable Rollover Gift
- Gifts can satisfy your RMD without increasing your income taxes.
- You will not pay taxes on your IRA withdrawal when given to TMF.
- You may direct your gift to a program or area of your choice.
- It is a wonderful way to create an immediate impact on TMF.
How can I make a charitable IRA rollover?
- Your IRA administrator can help you make a Qualified Charitable Distribution from your IRA. Be aware that many administrators require you to use their QCD distribution form and comply with other requirements. Please note that it is important to follow your financial institution’s forms and procedures to ensure you receive the tax benefits of a QCD.
