Qualified Charitable Distribution

IRA owners over age 70½ can designate that their required minimum distribution  be made to the Education Fund of the League of Women Voters of Palm Beach County as a Qualified Charitable Distribution. Doing so avoids the directly donated portion of their required minimum distribution from being taxable income, up to $105,000 per individual, or $210,000 for married couples filing jointly.

In addition to avoiding tax on the amount of the required minimum distribution, Qualified Charitable Distributions can help donors whose required minimum distribution would otherwise push them into a higher income tax bracket, and it may reduce other taxes that are based on your Adjusted Gross Income. Consult your tax professional about the benefits and requirements.

A Qualified Charitable Distribution can be made in two ways:
1- Electronically, directly to LWVPBC Education Fund.
Contact the League's Assistant Treasurer for specific information: treasurer@lwvpbc.org

 2- By a direct check from your IRA Custodian made payable to:
       LWVPBC Education Fund
       9314 Forest Hill Blvd. Ste 770
       Wellington, FL 33411-6577
