Another IRS rule is that by age 72, investors with eligible retirement accounts must each year make a “required minimum distribution” (RMD). According to the IRS, individuals can make that RMD payable to a 501(c)(3) organization rather than take the money out in cash. There are often positive tax implications for giving these funds in part or in whole to a qualified organization. Referred to as Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs), these gifts may also be made by individuals age 70½ even though they are not yet required to withdraw RMDs from their retirement accounts If you are interested in designating your RMD in part or in full to our work, Wisconsin Family Council is the appropriate organization.
