Give from Your IRAA Tax-Smart Way to Support the ParkIf you’re 70½ or older, you can make a tax-smart gift to Gwynns Falls/Leakin Park directly from your IRA. A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) can count toward your annual Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) and is generally excluded from your federal taxable income. How it worksA Qualified Charitable Distribution allows eligible IRA owners to transfer funds directly from their IRA to a qualified nonprofit organization. Why consider a QCD?
You can make a QCD beginning at age 70½, even if you aren't yet required to take RMDs. Because QCDs are excluded from taxable income, you cannot also claim a charitable income-tax deduction for the gift. |
