IRA Charitable Rollover Act Extended
Congress extended a wonderful charitable planning opportunity for 2008 and 2009 permitting IRA owners age 70 ½ or older to make a direct transfer to charities such as The Alzheimer’s Association. The transfer can be up to $100,000 per year.
Since a traditional IRA is funded with non-taxed dollars, a charitable contribution from an IRA does not qualify for an income tax deduction. However, gift amounts from an IRA will not be included in donors’ incomes.
The IRA rollover donor can avoid other taxes, too! Each year, IRA owners 70 ½ and older must take a required minimum distribution. This legislation permits the charitable rollover contribution to qualify for the required minimum distribution which can result in a lower taxable income.
Note: It is very important that the IRA custodian must transfer the funds from the IRA directly to the Alzheimer’s Association. If an IRA owner withdraws the funds and then contributes them to The Alzheimer’s Association, the withdrawal will be included in the donor’s gross income. Please contact your IRA plan custodian or trustee before making any withdrawal.
We hope you will consider this method of helping The Alzheimer’s Association and, helping yourself save taxes.
