Qualified Charitable Distribution
You may be looking for a way to make a big difference to help further our mission. If you are 70½ or older you may also be interested in a way to lower income taxes on your IRA withdrawals. An IRA charitable rollover is a way you can help continue our work and benefit this year.
The charitable IRA rollover, or qualified charitable distribution (QCD), is a special provision allowing particular donors of age 70½ to exclude an IRA distribution from taxable income—and count toward their required minimum distribution—certain transfers of Individual Retirement Account (IRA) assets that are made directly to public charities.
A charitable IRA distribution makes it easier to use your IRA assets during your lifetime to make charitable gifts. Your qualified charitable distributions can satisfy all or part of the amount of your required minimum distribution from your IRA. For example, if your required minimum distribution was $10,000, and you made a $5,000 qualified charitable distribution to the UNCSA, you would have had to withdraw another $5,000 to satisfy your required minimum distribution.
Benefits of an IRA charitable distribution
- Avoid income taxes on transfers of up to $108,000 from your IRA to University of North Carolina School of the Arts Foundation. Amounts over $105,000 are subject to personal income taxes.
- Gifts to the UNCSA Foundation are considered qualified charitable distributions and may satisfy your required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year
- Reduce your taxable income, even if you do not itemize deductions. Your required minimum distribution is taxable income to you unless it is a qualified charitable distribution.
- Make a gift that is not subject to the deduction limits on charitable gifts. Qualified charitable distributions from an IRA are not included in the 50% of adjusted gross income limitation on charitable gifts of cash.
- Help further the work and mission of University of North Carolina School of the Arts Foundation
