IRA Charitable Gifts
Individuals with a contributory, rollover, or SEP IRA are required to withdraw a “minimum distribution” annually (“RMD”) upon reaching a certain age designated by the Internal Revenue Service
(https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/plan-participant-employee/retirement-topics-required-minimum-distributions-rmds).
The distribution is considered ordinary income and is taxed at your tax rate. The amount of RMD is calculated based on IRS guideline tables. Visit the IRS website
(https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/plan-participant-employee/retirement-topics-required-minimum-distributions-rmds)
for more information.
You may consider donating all or a portion of an RMD to charity. This is called a Qualified Charitable Donation. If the gift is made payable to the charity, the donation is not taxable. We suggest speaking to your financial advisor or CPA for more information.
