 IRA Charitable Rollover

If you are 70 ½ years old or older, you can take advantage of the IRA Charitable Rollover and make a donation to Words Beats & Life.

The IRA Charitable Rollover allows for donations of up to $100,000 to make tax-free charitable contributions to qualified charitable organizations, like Words Beats & Life. Since gifts are not taxed, they do not qualify for charitable deductions, however, the amount donated does count towards your minimum required distribution.

Benefits

  • Your donation amount counts towards your minimum required distribution.

  • Since the donation is tax-free and not considered income, you may avoid taxation at a higher tax bracket.

  • Donations completed before December 31st, will count for that tax year.

  • Your IRA Charitable Rollover can be used to fulfill pledged donations to Words Beats & Life.

Requirements for an IRA Charitable Rollover

  • Individuals must be 70½ years old or older.

  • Rollover cannot exceed $100,000. Any amount that exceeds the $100,000 maximum, will be added to taxable income.

  • Organization must be a tax-exempt organization and classified as a 501(c)(3) organization, like Words Beats & Life.

  • The rollover for any year must be completed before December 31st of that year.

  • Rollovers can only be made from traditional IRAs. Rollovers from 403(b) plans, 401(k) plans, pension plans, and other retirement plans do not qualify. Funds must come directly from the plan administrator to Words Beats & Life.
