You can use your IRA income rather than cash to make charitable gifts by making a Qualified Charitable distribution (QCD) to your favorite charity. All you need to do is: - Contact your IRA administrator and authorize a direct transfer from your IRA to St. Johns County Council on Aging. - Have the IRA administrator make the check payable to St. Johns County Council on Aging. - Address: 180 Marine Street, St. Augustine, FL 32084 - Phone: 904-209-3700 - If you need it, our tax ID# 59-1525829 This QCD can satisfy your required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year. It reduces your taxable income, which can help reduce your income taxes. The maximum amount for charitable distributions from your IRA cannot exceed $100,000 per calendar year. (The starting age to begin making Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) now is 72, but QCDs still can begin at 70½.) You can also name a 501(c)(3) public charity, like the Council on Aging, as your IRA beneficiary, to enable you to fund your charitable and legacy objectives in an efficient and effective way while potentially experiencing tax savings for your heirs and your estate. Always consult with your financial advisor. All gifts are processed by St. Johns County Council on Aging, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization (EIN: 59-1525829)
