Qualified Charitable Distribution
QUALIFIED CHARITABLE DISTRIBUTION

Did you know you are taxed three times on your RMD (required minimum distribution) from the IRA?

First in your regular federal tax, then as a part of the calculation to determine the portion of your social security benefits subject to tax, and finally in your state tax return. You can avoid this triple taxation on the portion withdrawn as a QCD (qualified charitable distribution).

The institution holding your IRA will have all the necessary paperwork to help you make QCDs. This may also keep you from moving into a higher tax bracket. I use QCDs for most of our charitable contributions including our quarterly church pledge payments allowing us to contribute more than we could otherwise pay.

Trailblazers Hiking Ministry
