IRA Rollover or Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)

Anchor 1

Maximize your charitable giving while minimizing your taxable income. An IRA QCD is a rewarding and easy option for donors over age 70.5. The Required Minimum Distribution is suspended during 2020.

How It Works

An IRA QCD offers financial benefits and allows you to see the difference you’re making for KHL during your lifetime. Once you reach the age of 70.5, the IRS allows you to donate up to $100,000 per year, without incurring the customary income tax, directly from your IRA to charitable organizations of your choice. If your spouse is also 70.5 years old or older, you each may contribute up to $100,000. The amount of the IRA QCD is limited to the amount of the distribution that would otherwise be included in income. Because the income tax is waived, you will not be able to claim an itemized charitable deduction for this gift.


You’ll have the flexibility to choose where your money goes. You may choose to have KHL use it where it is most needed, or your gift can go to the endowment.

Benefits

  • Satisfy your required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year (this requirement is waived for 2020 under the CARES Act)

  • Avoid counting the distribution as income

More details

This giving option is only allowable through IRAs, not other retirement funds, such as 401(k) or profit-sharing plans. Gifts may not be distributed to donor-advised funds.


IRA QCDs are not subject to income tax, so they do not qualify for a charitable deduction. The benefits of this option comes from reduced taxable income and of course being able to make a significant impact on the charity of your choice.

Stocks and Bonds

Transfer ownership of appreciated stock or bonds, or cash as a gift to the Kellogg-Hubbard Library.
If your holdings have depreciated, it is wiser to sell them, take the loss on your taxes, and donate the cash proceeds to the Library.


 

  • Receive charitable tax deduction to help offset income tax

  • Save on brokerage fees

 


Your gift of appreciated holdings will be fully deductible and valued at the current fair market value, saving you capital gains taxes that would otherwise have been incurred.
