Charitable gifts from retirement accounts can be made through Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs), allowing individuals aged 70½ or older to donate up to $111,000 directly from their IRA to eligible charities without incurring income tax on the distribution. This method not only supports charitable causes but also counts toward required minimum distributions (RMDs) for those 73 and older. It works well for those who do not itemize deductions on their tax return.
APPRECIATED SECURITIES
It’s easy to make a gift of appreciated securities. Benefits include: 1) A full, fair-market, income tax deduction; 2) Zero capital gains tax paid by the donor; 3) Zero capital gains tax paid by JFS. This means that the full value of the stock gift is put to work for JFS, while the donor avoids capital gains tax and earns a charitable income tax deduction. For instructions for transferring appreciated securities to JFS or more information, contact Beth Jabick at 203-622-1881, X116 or bjabick@jfsgreenwich.org.
