IRA Charitable Rollover
Don't Miss Your Chance: Make Tax-Free Gifts From Your IRA Today!
The IRA charitable rollover legislation allows you to transfer lifetime gifts up to $100,000 using funds from your individual retirement account (IRA) without undesirable tax effects.
You may contribute funds this way if:
- You are age 70½ (before January 01, 2020), or age 72, or older at the time of the gift.
- You may transfer up to $100,000 directly from your IRA. This opportunity applies only to IRAs and not other types of retirement plans.
- You transfer the funds outright to one or more qualified charities. The legislation does not permit direct transfers to charitable trusts, donor advised funds, charitable gift annuities or supporting organizations.
- You make your gift by December 31:
If you make your gift of up to $100,000 this year from your IRA, you can see your philanthropic dollars at work. You will get to see the joy of watching your philanthropy take shape. Additionally, you can fulfill any outstanding pledge you may have already made by transferring that amount from your IRA under this legislation as long as it is $100,000 or less for the year.
If you have not yet taken your required minimum distribution, the charitable IRA rollover gift can satisfy all or part of that requirement. Contact your IRA custodian
to complete the gift. Under the law, you can give a maximum of
$100,000. For example, you can divide your gift between organizations as
long as the total given is $100,000 or less. Any amount of more than
$100,000 in one year must be reported as taxable income.
If you have a spouse 72 or older and has an IRA, he/she can also give up to $100,000 from his/her IRA.
Please consult with your tax professional and/or financial advisor if you are contemplating a charitable gift under the extended law. Please feel free to contact the Edinboro University Foundation office at (814) 732-1669 or send an email with any questions you may have.
