IRA

*A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) is a direct transfer of funds from your IRA custodian, payable to a qualified charity. QCDs can be counted toward satisfying your required minimum distributions (RMDs) for the year, as long as certain rules are met. 

In addition to the benefits of giving to charity, a QCD excludes the amount donated from taxable income, which is unlike regular withdrawals from IRA. Keeping your taxable income lower may reduce the impact to certain tax credits and deductions, including Social Security and Medicare. 

Requirements for a QCD: 

  • You must be 70 1/2 or older to be eligible to make a QCD. 
  • QCDs are limited to the amount that would otherwise be taxed as ordinary in income. This excludes non-deductible contributions. 
  • The maximum annual amount that can qualify for a QCD is $100,000. This applies to the sum of QCDs made to one or more charities in a calendar year. If, however, you file taxes jointly, your spouse can also make a QCD from his or her own IRA within the same tax year for up to $100,000. 
  • For a QCD to count towards your current year's RMD, the funds must come out of your IRA by your RMD deadline, generally December 31. 

Other Ways to Give

Itemized Deductions Under New Cares Act

Corporations: Cash Contribution 10% Limit increased to 25% If you itemize your deductions under the new CARES Act, you can claim more than 60% of your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) if you make any charitable donation.* This makes it easier to give and save at the same time in 2020!

Individuals: Standard Deduction If you take a standard deduction, you can claim an above-the-line tax deduction for cash donations up to $300.

*Consult your tax adviser to find out if your donation is tax deductible.
