Act Now To Save On Taxes!
Recent changes to the tax law mean that for many donors over 70½, an IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution is a smart way to receive an income tax benefit for their charitable contributions.
Often referred to as an IRA charitable rollover, a Qualified Charitable Distribution is a direct transfer of up to $100,000 per year from an IRA custodian to a qualified charity like Valley of the Sun United Way. Unlike regular withdrawals from an IRA, a Qualified Charitable Distribution is not included in taxable income but still counts toward satisfying a required minimum distribution, as long as specific rules are met.*
Additional Benefits Include
-
Reduces your taxable income, even if you do not itemize deductions.
-
Satisfies your annual required minimum distribution up to the amount of your gift.
-
May help you avoid income that would push you into a higher federal and/or state income tax bracket.
-
Minimizes the impact your charitable giving has on your cash flow because the gift is from an IRA, not cash on hand.
