Individual Retirement Account – Qualified Charitable Distribution Gifts
Individual Retirement Account – Qualified Charitable Distribution Gifts: Donors 70 ½ or older may make Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) from their Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) to nonprofits. You must contact your IRA administrator for their form to initiate your QCD donation to Abendmusik. Here is the information your IRA administrator will need:

Frequently Asked Questions about QCD Donations
Who can make a QCD? Individuals 70½ and older may transfer up to $100,000 annually from an IRA to public charities like Abendmusik without incurring Federal or State tax.
Do QCDs add to my income? QCD charitable rollover payments apply toward Required Minimum Distributions (RMD) and are not added to your taxable income.
Are there tax benefits to donating through a QCD? Yes!
Tax Savers: QCD IRA rollover amounts are not included in your gross income calculations so you may save on Federal income and Social Security income taxes, avoid the Medicare tax, and enjoy other tax savings.
Nonitemizers: If you do not itemize deductions and therefore would not otherwise receive a tax deduction for your charitable gift, a QCD gift allows you to enjoy an equivalent tax benefit without requiring you to itemize.
Generous Donors: A QCD gift from your IRA is not subject to the annual ceiling on charitable deductions or the phaseouts of deductions for high earners.
We encourage you to consult with your accountant, attorney, or financial advisor when you make a charitable gift from your IRA.
