Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)
from your IRA

If you are 70½ or older, you can give up to $108,000 annually directly from your IRA:

  • The amount excludes the distribution from your taxable income.

  • It can satisfy all or part of your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD).

  • You do not need to itemize deductions to benefit.

  • Lower taxable income may reduce Social Security tax and Medicare premiums.

To Make a QCD:
Ask your IRA custodian to send a check, or from the IRA checkbook you have that’s designated for QCDs to:
