Giving From Your IRA

If you’re 70½ or older, you can make a sizable gift from an individual retirement account (IRA) to The Ryan Shazier Fund AND reduce your taxable income. Distributions made directly to charity are not treated as taxable income. This is advantageous even if you don’t itemize deductions on your tax returns.

You can give from your IRA without any federal tax liability, as long as the gifts are qualified charitable distributions (QCDs).

Distributions qualify for all or part of your required minimum distribution (RMD).

Requirements:

  • IRA holders must be age 70½ or older at the time of the gift.
  • A single person may give up to $100,000 per year and a married couple may give up to $200,000 per year from separate accounts.
  • Gifts must be outright gifts made directly to a charitable organization.
  • Distributions to donor-advised funds, to charitable trusts, or for charitable gift annuities are not permissible.
  • Distributions may only be made from traditional IRAs or Roth IRAs; other retirement accounts are not eligible.
