IRA Charitable Rollover

A Tax-Saving Way to Help Fight Hunger in Maine
​
If you are 70½ years old or older, you can take advantage of a simple way to benefit Piscataquis Regional Food Center and receive tax benefits in return. You can give any amount up to $100,000 per year from your IRA directly to a qualified charity such as ours without having to pay income taxes on the money. This popular gift option is commonly called the IRA charitable rollover, but you may also see it referred to as a qualified charitable distribution, or QCD for short.
​
QCD’s are popular for many reasons. The donation may be used immediately by the organization, which means you will be able to see the impact your donation has in the community. And, because You pay no income taxes on the gift. The transfer generates neither taxable income nor a tax deduction, so you benefit even if you do not itemize your deductions.
​
Beginning in the year you turn 72, you can use your gift to satisfy all or part of your required minimum distribution. Additionally, since the gift doesn’t count as income, it may reduce your annual income level. This may help lower your Medicare premiums and decrease the amount of Social Security that is subject to tax.
