One of the newest blood thinners on the market, doctors prescribe Eliquis to prevent blood clots and strokes. Bristol-Myers Squibb and Pfizer tout their drug as one of the safest available, but clinical trials involved several flaws, leading some experts to believe the results are unsubstantiated.
Charitable Donation Option for IRAs Qualified charitable distributions give traditional IRA owners the opportunity to give their required minimum distribution directly to a qualified charity so that they do not have to include the income on their income tax return. To be eligible, you must be at least 70 1/2 years old and must get a receipt from the receiving charity.
Lifetime distributions. Individuals with IRAs are required to begin lifetime RMDs from their IRAs no later than April 1 of the year following the year in which they reach age 70Â½. (This is in contrast to RMDs from employer-sponsored plans which, in most cases, may be postponed until after the employee retires or reaches age 70Â½, whichever is later).
