Support My Church and Save on My Taxes?!
What’s Better than That? Want a way to boost your
tax savings beyond the newly increased standard de-
duction? If you are 70 1/2 or older, you can use your
IRA to make a gift to your parish, school, diocese or
ministry and save on taxes! Federal tax law now al-
lows you to make a distribution of up to $100,000
each year from your IRA to a qualifying charity and it
is not subject to federal income tax. By making a
“qualified charitable distribution” (QCD) from your
IRA, you can give to your parish tax free and it counts
toward your IRA’s annual required minimum distribu-
tion! Transfers must be made directly from your IRA
administrator to a qualifying 501c3 charitable organi-
zation. For more information contact our parish of-
fice or your IRA Administrator.
