💙 What Is a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)?

If you're age 70½ or older and are charitably inclined, a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) may be a tax-smart way to support the causes you care about.

A QCD allows you to make a direct donation from your IRA to a qualified charity. For those who are subject to Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs), a QCD can also count toward satisfying all or part of your annual RMD (up to IRS limits), while potentially reducing your taxable income.

Here are a few key things to know:
✔️ You must be 70½ or older to make a QCD.
✔️ The donation must be made directly from your IRA to a qualified charity.
✔️ If you're required to take an RMD, a QCD can satisfy all or part of that requirement, provided it is completed correctly.
✔️ A QCD may offer tax advantages that a regular charitable donation does not.

Every financial situation is unique. If you're considering a QCD and would like to understand how it fits into your retirement and charitable giving strategy, we're happy to help.

💡 Understanding Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs)

If you're age 73 or older, Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) may be an important part of your retirement plan.

An RMD is the minimum amount the IRS requires you to withdraw each year from certain retirement accounts, including many Traditional IRAs and employer-sponsored retirement plans.

Here are a few things to know:
✔️ RMDs generally begin at age 73 (for many retirees under current law).
✔️ Your required withdrawal amount is based on your account balance and IRS life expectancy tables.
✔️ Missing an RMD or withdrawing too little may result in IRS penalties.
✔️ Proper planning can help you manage taxes and make the most of your retirement income strategy.

Not sure if an RMD applies to you or have questions about your retirement income plan? We're here to help.

If your kids are starting a summer job, why not look into a Custodial Roth account? Talk to your kids about how they can get started with tax-advantaged savings. Whether they put money in the account or you get it started for them with a gift, it’s a good way to start a great habit. For more information or to set up a meeting, drop us a note today!

We can explain the pros and cons of Custodial Roth IRA, and introduce you to some of the unique features of custodial accounts, including when kids can take control of the asset. Also, remember, with a Roth IRA, to qualify for the tax-free and penalty-free withdrawal of earnings, a Roth must meet a 5-year holding requirement and occur after age 59½. Tax-free and penalty-free withdrawals can also be taken under certain other circumstances, and the original Roth IRA owner is not required to take minimum annual withdrawals.

Trump Accounts opened on July 4. A few questions are worth considering:

➡️ Our baby is 18 months old. Do we qualify for the $1,000?

Yes. Every U.S. citizen baby born since January 1, 2025, qualifies for a one-time $1,000 federal contribution.

➡️ Is there an income maximum?

No. Eligibility is based on the child's citizenship and birth date, not family income.

➡️ Our child is 7. Did we miss it?

Not entirely. Any U.S. citizen under 18 can have an account opened. The federal $1,000 payment applies only to children born in 2025 through 2028, but everything else still applies.

➡️ Can grandparents contribute?

Yes. Up to $5,000 per year combined across parents, grandparents, family, and the child themselves.

➡️ What is the catch?

State tax conformity varies; California, for example, does not currently conform.

Whether to contribute, how much, and how to coordinate it with what you already have are all worth talking through. Our team is here for that.
