Required Minimum Distributions: Tax Benefits for Charitable Donations
If you have a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) on your own account or an inherited account and you do not need the funds, donating to the Altrusa International Foundation provides tax benefits. You cannot keep money in your employer-sponsored retirement plan(s) indefinitely. Once you reach retirement, you will need to withdraw money from these funds annually. This is a great opportunity to begin or grow your philanthropic giving.
The RMD is the smallest amount account holders must withdraw from employer-sponsored retirement plans each year once they reach retirement. If you fail to meet your RMD, the amount not withdrawn will be taxed at 50%. Your required withdrawal will be included in your taxable income and cannot be rolled into other tax-deferred accounts. However, donating your RMD is a qualified charitable distribution (QCD). Tax benefits aside, earmarking this income for the Foundation is a great way to begin or expand your giving portfolio to support the Foundation’s many efforts.
The RMD rules apply to all employer-sponsored retirement plans (including profit-sharing plans, 401 (k) plans, 403 (b) plans, and 457 (b) plans. Roth 401 (k) accounts are exempt from the RDM rules as long as the owner is alive. If you are the account owner of one of these types of accounts and you have reached age 72 (73 if you reach age 72 after Dec. 31, 2022), you have an RMD.
