Tax Break Initiative
You are allowed to make Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD) from your IRA, up to $108,000 per year. This is a process by which you, the taxpayer, directs the IRA custodian to distribute any amount up to a total of $108,000 per year directly to a Church or 501 (c) (3) charity. This allows you to satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) requirement while at the same time providing you, in essence, a “deduction” by not having to report the RMD as income.
