Using IRA Distributions for Charitable Deductions – It’s Not Too Late Yet!

Dec 16, 2013 | Prescott Accounting

Have you considered using the funds in your individual retirement account (IRA) to make a charitable contribution?  If so, it’s a good idea to follow up on your plans sooner rather than later.  Under the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, individuals who are age 70 1/2 or older can make a qualified charitable distribution from an IRA directly to a charity.  You can exclude donations up to $100,000 of an otherwise taxable distribution from your gross income and count them toward the current tax year’s  required minimum IRA distributions.

 

The rules only apply to distributions made in 2012 and 2013, so you need to act now.  Contact us with any questions you may have on this type of charitable distribution.
