  • Important things to know:
    • You must be 70 ½ or older at the date of the distribution.
    • A QCD will count towards your RMD.
    • QCD’s are federally tax free and are limited to the amount that would otherwise be taxed as ordinary income.  State tax rules may vary.
    • A QCD is not subject to tax withholding.
    • The distribution must be made directly to the qualified charity by the custodian.
    • The charity must be a 501(c) (3) organization and be eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions.
    • A QCD from any type of non-inherited IRA will be reported as a normal distribution.
    • Consult your tax advisor to discuss this option and for state-specific guidance.
    • Each check will be made payable to the qualified charity and list your name as donor. You should follow up with the charity directly for a receipt of your donation.
  • Advantage to LVOY:
    • LVOY will receive the full tax-free gift from you, making your gift larger than if given as an after tax gift.
• Consider leaving a bequest to LVOY
