QUALIFIED CHARITABLE DISTRIBUTION

Did you know you are taxed three times on your RMD (required minimum distribution) from the IRA?

First in your regular federal tax, then as a part of the calculation to determine the portion of your social security benefits subject to tax, and finally in your state tax return. You can avoid this triple taxation on the portion withdrawn as a QCD (qualified charitable distribution).

The institution holding your IRA will have all the necessary paperwork to help you make QCDs. This may also keep you from moving into a higher tax bracket. I use QCDs for most of our charitable contributions including our quarterly church pledge payments allowing us to contribute more than we could otherwise pay.

TRAILBLAZERS HIKING MINISTRY

Discover a New Dimension of Faith Exploration through WUMC's Trailblazers Hiking Ministry! Join us for invigorating outings that start with a brief, uplifting moment of inspiration lasting around 5 minutes, followed by engaging discussions lasting 10-15 minutes.

Our Trailblazers group usually gathers monthly for these inspiring adventures. For more information and specific event details, check out our Meetup.com page.
