Congress Makes Strategy Permanent for IRA Owners
Submitted by Grunden Financial Advisory, Inc on February 25th, 2016Congress just made it a little easier for people to give money from their IRAs to charities. This strategy, called a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), was made permanent in 2016 and allows IRA account owners older than age 70.5 to give some or all of their Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) from the IRA to a charity. The strategy is not available to anyone who is not subject to RMDs.
