Qualified Charitable Distribution
When you create your legacy gift with a charitable IRA rollover, you receive tax advantages, and you help LGBT individuals and families for years to come.
Benefits include:
- Avoid paying tax on your required minimum distribution* this year. The distribution will not count as taxable income for this year, helping keep you in a lower tax bracket.
- The transfer is not subject to limitations on itemized deductions.
- Enjoy a quick and easy estate tax reduction.
To qualify:
- You must be 70 ½ years old or older by year-end.
- The distribution must be directly to the Center from your plan trustee.
- An individual may take a one-time QCD up to $50,000 to fund a charitable gift annuity (CGA) or charitable remainder trust (CRT).
- The maximum contribution amount each year is $100,000 ($200,000 per couple).
- Your transfer must be received by the last day of the calendar year.
