Generally, a qualified charitable distribution is an otherwise taxable distribution from an IRA (other than an ongoing SEP or SIMPLE IRA) owned by an individual who is age 70Â½ or over that is paid directly from the IRA to a qualified charity.
Doing a two step to qualify: (1) Roll over a non-qualified pension plan into a qualified IRA. Thatâs generally tax free (make sure thatâs so). (2) The qualified IRA then makes the distributions directly to the charity. Pointer on donor-advised funds of community foundations.
