IRA Charitable Rollover
A Simple Way to Support Families Through Your IRA
If you’re age 70½ or older, you can make a tax-wise gift directly from your IRA to Ronald McDonald House Central Florida. This special giving option, known as a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), allows you to support families when they need it most while potentially reducing your taxable income.
Why Give From Your IRA?
Next Steps
Legal name: Ronald McDonald House Central Florida
Address: 1030 N Orange Ave, Ste 105, Orlando, Florida 32801
Federal Tax ID Number: 59-3211250
No. You must be 70½ by the date you make the gift.
Yes. Direct gifts to a qualified charity can be made only from an IRA. Under certain circumstances, however, you may be able to roll assets from a pension, profit sharing, thrift savings plan (TSP), 401(k) or 403(b) plan into an IRA and then make the transfer from the IRA directly to Ronald McDonald House Central Florida. To determine if a rollover to an IRA is available for your plan, speak with your plan administrator.
Yes, absolutely. Beginning in the year you turn 73, you can use your gift to satisfy all or part of your RMD.
No. You can give any amount under this provision, as long as it is no more than $111,000 this year. If your IRA is valued at more than $111,000, you can transfer a portion of it to fund a charitable gift.
We must receive your gift by Dec. 31 for your donation to qualify this year. If you have check-writing features on your IRA, please be aware that your check must clear your account by Dec. 31 to count toward your required minimum distribution for the calendar year.
No. Under the law, you can give a maximum of $111,000 this year. For example, you can give each organization $55,500 this year or any other combination that totals $111,000 or less. Any amount of more than $111,000 in one year must be reported as taxable income.
If you have a spouse (as defined by the IRS) who is 70½ or older, they can also give any amount up to $111,000 from their IRA.
By making a gift this year of any amount up to $111,000 from your IRA, you can see your philanthropic dollars at work. You are jump-starting the legacy you would like to leave and giving yourself the joy of watching your philanthropy take shape. Moreover, you can fulfill any outstanding pledge you may have made by transferring that amount from your IRA as long as it is $111,000 or less for the year.
If you are at least 59½ years old, you can take a distribution and then make a gift from your IRA without penalty. If you itemize your deductions, you can take a charitable deduction for the amount of your gift.
No matter your age, you can designate Ronald McDonald House Alabama as the beneficiary of all or a percentage of your IRA and it will pass to us tax-free after your lifetime. It’s simple, just requiring that you contact your IRA administrator for a change-of-beneficiary form or download a form from your provider’s website.
Tip: It is critical to let us know of your gift because many popular retirement plan administrators assume no obligation to notify a charity of your designation. The administrator also will not monitor whether your gift designations are followed. We would love to talk to you about your intentions to ensure that they are followed. We would also like to thank you in advance for your generosity.
