Tax Incentives for Charitable Gifts from IRAs Extended
New tax legislation, signed on December 17, 2010 extends tax-free Charitable Giving from Individual Retirement Accounts. The extension is effective for 2010 and 2011 and is retroactive to January 1, 2010 and through December 31, 2011. Gifts made before January 31, 2011 can count as 2010 gifts.
If you are 70½ or older, temporary legislation allows you to make cash gifts totaling up to $100,000 from your traditional or Roth IRA to qualified charities without incurring income tax on the withdrawal.
You may designate one charity, such as the Finger Lakes Land Trust or you may distribute your gifts among several charities. the value of your gift does not count as taxable income.
A special provision allows interested donors to make distributions that will be treated as made in 2010 if completed by January 31, 2011.
