Retirement Plan Assets
Giving from your 401k or IRA Retirement Plan
You’ve worked hard to plan for retirement, and now your retirement plan assets offer an opportunity to support a future of longer, healthier lives while providing tax relief for you and your loved ones.
Assets held in IRAs, 401ks, and other qualified retirement plans have yet to be taxed. When a distribution is made from your retirement plan account to a beneficiary, that person will be burdened with federal income tax. As a nonprofit organization, the 蜜芽传媒 is tax-exempt and will receive the full amount of what you designate. Your loved ones can enjoy tax relief by receiving less heavily taxed assets held elsewhere by your estate and your gift can make a bigger impact.
There are many ways that you can leverage your retirement plan assets to benefit you, your family, and support the 蜜芽传媒 far into the future.
Ways to Give Using Your Retirement Plan Assets
Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)
A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) allows individuals who are 70½ years or older to make a tax-free donation directly from your traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA) to the 蜜芽传媒. You can give up to $105,000 (indexed for inflation) annually from your IRA.
