Lifetime Gift from a Retirement Account
Under Pension Protection Act of 2006 - IRA
Charitable Rollover
(Complete gift description)
You may find benefits in making a direct distribution from your IRA to MDA if the gift qualifies as an IRA Charitable Rollover under the Pension Protection Act of 2006.
- Who Qualifies?
Individuals who are age 70½ at the time of the contribution (you have to wait until your actual 70½ birthday to make the transfer).
- How much can I transfer?
$100,000 per year in 2006 and 2007
- From what accounts can I make transfers?
Transfers must come from IRAs directly to the charity. If you have retirement
assets in a 401(k), 403(b) etc., you must first roll these assets into an IRA,
and then direct the transfer from the IRA to MDA.
- To what charities can I make gifts?
Tax exempt organizations like MDA to which deductible contributions can be made.
- Can I use the transfer to fund life-income gifts (CRTs, CGAs, PIFs or the like)?
No, these are not eligible.
- Can I use donor advised funds or supporting organizations?
No, these are not eligible.
- How does MDA count the gift?
MDA would recognize and give credit for the entire gift amount, just as it would for any outright gift.
