New Law Brings New Opportunities
We want to share with you some new legislation that creates unprecedented giving opportunities.
Congress has recently taken important steps to strengthen America’s retirement system while also encouraging additional charitable giving. The Pension Protection Act of 2006 may offer you new opportunities for tax-free charitable giving. Of special note, the new law includes incentives for those 70½ years of age and older who would like to make charitable gifts from potentially taxable Individual Retirement Account (IRA) funds.
The Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA) gives those at least 70-½ the opportunity to help overcome these and other challenges by making tax-free charitable gifts. Making gifts from IRA funds that would be subject to tax if withdrawn voluntarily or under mandatory withdrawal requirements may be wise for many this year and next.
For 2006 and 2007, Congress is allowing these individuals with traditional or Roth IRAs to make tax-free gifts directly to qualified charities.* Donors may choose to make charitable distributions in any amount up to $100,000 per year, if so desired. A couple with separate IRAs could each give up to that amount. Individuals who are required to take unneeded IRA withdrawals, and others who have experienced limitations on tax benefits in the past, will find the new law of particular interest.
Recall also that assets held in Individual Retirement Accounts are not only subject to income tax when withdrawn during one’s lifetime or be survivors, but they may also be subject to estate tax if left to loved ones other than a spouse. For that reason, IRAs may be a good choice for some when deciding how to fund charitable gifts.
The provisions of the law will affect individuals in a variety of ways. The new IRA rollover provision provides the following benefits if:
- You do not need the income from your required minimum distributions;
- You are already giving at the 50% adjusted gross income limitation to charity;
- You would like to give from your IRA and do not want to pay taxes;
- You want to avoid additional income that will increase Social Security income taxes; and
- You want to support the Park City Jazz Foundation.
To enjoy the full benefit of this two-year opportunity, you must complete each year’s transfer prior to December 31 of that year. Check with your advisors about the best ways to take advantage of these new giving opportunities. Keep in mind that everyone’s circumstances are different, and state as well as federal tax laws may affect your plans.
If you have questions about making this special gift to the Park City Jazz Foundation using your IRA, contact Kris Severson, Executive Director at 435-940-1362 or kris@parkcityjazz.org
