The Government Is Providing You With an Outstanding Way to Help Others
If you're looking for the most tax-effective gift to make to a cause you care about, Congress has extended a law that allows individuals 70½ or older to make tax-free gifts now to qualified charitable organizations like ours using funds transferred directly from their IRAs. You can transfer any amount up to $100,000 each year in 2008 and 2009.
Music to Your Ears
The transfer counts toward your minimum required distribution as long as you have not yet received your distribution for the year.
The transfer generates neither taxable income nor a tax deduction, so you will benefit even if you do not itemize your tax deductions.
You can witness the difference your philanthropic dollars make to us.
We Can Help
Don't let this tax-wise opportunity pass you by. If you have a question, need more information or would like to make a gift, please feel free to contact us. We look forward to hearing from you.
