Tax-Beneficial Ways To Give: RMDs and Direct Contributions
-
Did you know that your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) can be used to make charitable contributions to St. John Vianney and St. Paschal while also providing potential tax benefits? Here are some ways to contribute:
Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs)
For those 73 or older, you are required to take Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) from your IRA. By making a charitable donation directly from your RMD, you may satisfy your RMD requirement and lower your taxable income, as the donation will not be counted as taxable income.IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)
If you are 70½ years or older, you can make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from your IRA to your parish. A QCD allows you to:- Transfer up to $105,000 per year directly to a qualified charity like ours (this amount increased for 2024, it was previously $100,000).
- Reduce your taxable income, even if you don’t itemize deductions.
Tax Benefits of Charitable Contributions
In addition to the potential tax savings from QCDs and RMDs, your charitable contributions may also be eligible for deductions if you itemize your taxes. It’s always a good idea to consult with a financial advisor or tax professional to maximize the benefits of giving in ways that align with your financial goals.
Tax Benefits of Bequests
By planning your bequest, you can help support your church's mission, ministries, and future growth in a meaningful way while potentially lowering the tax impact on your estate:- Federal Estate Tax Deduction: Gifts made to your Catholic church are exempt from federal estate taxes, meaning the value of your bequest can be fully deducted from your estate, potentially reducing the overall tax burden on your heirs.
- Income Tax Benefits for Retirement Accounts: If you name your church as the beneficiary of a retirement account (such as an IRA or 401(k)), your estate can avoid the income taxes that would otherwise be due when those funds are withdrawn, resulting a greater portion of your assets being used for charitable purposes.
