Qualified Charitable Deductions ("QCD") from IRAs.  This is a great strategy for seniors who have already starte3d drawing Required Minimum Distributions "RMDs" from their IRA.  You may instruct your IRA account custodian to issue a check or a wire transfer to church or charity directly, instead of to you.  The QCD amount counts toward your RMD requirement, up to a limit of $1000,000 per year, and you avoid paying tax on the QCD amount to the church or charity, compared to receiving the distribution yourself as taxable income and then making a charitable donation with after-tax money.

After you have contacted PNC, please contact Emma Jones at the Catholic Center (859-253-1993 ext. 1050 or [email protected]) and Leslie McGraw at MQHR ([email protected]).  Let them know to expect the stock, and any information you can that will help identify the gift upon receipt.  For example, the type of stock and number of shares and the location that should receive the gift.

Non-Cash Gifts and Estate Planning
 You can donate marketable securities such as stock, bonds or mutual funds. This type of giving allows you to receive an income tax deduction for the full fair market value of your gift and you do not pay a capital gains tax on the difference between your cost and the fair market value. In addition, several types of gifts can be given through Estate Planning, including life insurance, retirement assets and bequests. For more information about these giving opportunities, please email [email protected] or call 859-278-7432.

Always consult with your accountant, tax preparer or investment advisor before you make decisions about stock gifts, QCDs from an IRA, bundling charitable gifts, or other estate planning.  The above are only general concepts that may not be of significant benefit of suitable for your particular income and tax situation or objectives.
