CHARITABLE GIFTING, RMD’S AND QCD’S

Many “Friends of the Battleship” have charitable intent and want to help financially support this historic warship for posterity.

If you own an IRA, the IRS mandates that you must take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) each year.

Are you aware that you can designate a portion of your RMD to the Battleship New Jersey in the form of a Qualified Charitable Contribution (QCD)?  Here are the specifics on how it works, and the many advantages to the taxpayer:

Using your RMD as a charitable contribution will exclude that amount from your adjusted-gross income (AGI) for the year, which means that in addition to reducing your income taxes, it also can decrease the amount of Social Security that is subject to tax and potentially lower your Medicare premiums.
