If you are 70.5 years or older, you can make a Qualified Charitable Contribution (QCD) from your IRA, which is tax-free for federal income tax purposes. A QCD helps reduce your tax bill in two ways: it doesn’t count as taxable income, and you can deduct it from your gross income without itemizing. For those aged 73 or older, QCDs also count toward your required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year. Please consult your financial advisor on how to make a Qualified Charitable Distribution to Bluffton Community Soup Kitchen.
