Consider using your IRA (or other qualified retirement account) to make a gift.
Recent legislation has made it possible for individuals who are 70.5 years of age
to transfer up to $100,000 to qualified charitable organizations without recognizing
any taxable income on the amount transferred.
Read below for the nuts and bolts of an IRA Charitable Rollover.
----------
From our UW Foundation partner, Angela VerPloeg:
Recently, Congress and the President approved the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015. This legislation makes the Charitable IRA Rollover provisions from the Tax Increase Protection Act of 2014 permanent. As a result of this legislation, you may be eligible to make gifts of up to $100,000 to qualified charitable organizations, including the University of Wyoming Foundation, through direct transfers from your individual retirement account.
Nuts and Bolts of an IRA Charitable Rollover:
(1). Who can take advantage: Individuals who are at least 70½ may transfer up to $100,000 directly from an IRA to a qualified charity, including the University of Wyoming Foundation.
(2). Required Minimum Distribution (RMD): Transfers to charity will satisfy all or part of your required minimum distribution.
(3). How to take advantage: Transfers must come directly from your IRA custodian to the charity. Financial institutions may vary in their procedures; however, each will likely have a form that you can either complete online or print, sign and either mail or fax in for processing. Contact your IRA custodian for instructions.
(4). Timeline: Gifts made from your IRA to a charity will offset your required minimum distribution for the year in which the gift is made.
(5). Taxable income and charitable deductions: An IRA Charitable Rollover is a ‘non-taxable event,’ which means you will not recognize any income but will also not receive a charitable deduction.
