Options for Year-end Giving

As many Alexandria Symphony Orchestra patrons know, reaching age 70-1/2 is that milestone when individuals are required to withdraw a certain minimum amount from Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). Philanthropically-inclined savers who are age 70-1/2 or older can satisfy that requirement and get a tax benefit at the same time by transferring up to $100,000 from their traditional IRAs to a charity, says Joan M. Renner, CPA, CGMA, Shareholder, Renner and Company, CPA, P.C. This “qualified charitable distribution” avoids taxes that you would have otherwise owed on an IRA distribution, but the funds must be paid directly from your IRA to a qualified charity. A married couple can each contribute up to $100,000, for a total of $200,000. Contact your tax advisor to see if a qualified charitable distribution is a strategy that you should consider.
