GIVING – TAX PLANNING TIPS
Charitable givers older than age 70-1/2 with an IRA account may find it beneficial to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from an IRA to a favorite charity like Tualatin Pres! Such a distribution is made directly from the IRA to a qualified charity and limited to $100,000 annually. A Qualified Charitable Distribution from an IRA can be counted as part of the required annual minimum distribution and is excluded from taxable income. This is especially advantageous when a taxpayer is taking the standard deduction. With changes to the tax law, fewer taxpayers will be itemizing deductions, the means by which donations to charity are deductible.
Specific IRS regulations can be complex as to the type of eligible IRA and how the direct contribution is made. If you are older than 70-1/2 with an IRA account, consult your tax advisor as well as your IRA institutional holder to determine if you might benefit by donating through your IRA.
Another tax planning tool is to create a Donor Advised Fund (DAF). By creating a DAF, a donor can make a large contribution to a fund but distribute those dollars to charitable organizations over multiple years. This allows the donor to still take advantage of the charitable giving itemized deduction in the first year, then utilize the larger standard deduction in the following years. Contributions to a DAF are irrevocable but provide a variety of tax advantages. The Presbyterian Foundation offers a DAF or consult your tax advisor for additional options.
