Retirement planning – Is a QCD right for you?

Description

Abstract: Those 70½ years old or older may benefit tax-wise by transferring qualified charitable distributions (QCDs) directly from their IRAs to qualified charitable organizations. This article points out that a QCD counts as a required minimum distribution (RMD) for tax purposes without resulting in tax liability. The article looks at the ins and outs of using QCDs, while a sidebar offers a detailed list of the new QCD rule changes under SECURE Act 2.0.
