- Individual Retirement Account (IRA) – Gifts through a QCD
A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) allows individuals who are 70½ years old or older to donate up to $111,000 total to one or more charities directly from a taxable IRA instead of taking their required minimum distributions. As a result, donors may avoid being pushed into higher income tax brackets and prevent phaseouts of other tax deductions, though there are some other limitations.
How QCDs are made:
The money is a direct transfer to the charity that never passes through the hands of the IRA holder. Instead, the IRA custodian can either send an electronic transfer of funds or a check directly to the charity.
For a QCD to count toward your minimum annual IRA distribution, it must be made by the same deadline as a normal distribution, which is usually Dec. 31 of the tax year in question.
Contact your IRA administrator and request a direct transfer to PBS Hawai‘I (Hawaii Public Television Foundation FEIN: 99-0334518). To ensure proper credit and acknowledgment, ask that your name and mailing address be included with the distribution, if possible.
