IRA Rollover: A Gift with Substantial Benefits

Mark was a retired attorney with a significant IRA and substantial income from investments. He had made IRA rollover gifts to his favorite nonprofit organization several times in recent years.

Because Mark was over age 70½, he could give away up to $111,000 directly from his IRA to his favorite nonprofit this year. Mark's gift would qualify for his required minimum distribution amount, reducing his income and taxes.

Mark: "Making an IRA rollover gift was an obvious solution to my tax situation. Also, I wanted to help the same nonprofit again this year."

Mark gave the maximum amount, $111,000, for an IRA rollover gift this year. Because of Mark's income level, he enjoyed added tax benefits.

Mark: "I hope I can reduce my income every year and help my favorite nonprofit with an IRA rollover gift!"
