Many older individuals make annual charitable contributions with assets in their individual retirement accounts (IRAs). If you are 70 ½ or older, charitable contributions from your IRA may count toward your annual required minimum distribution without having to record it as taxable income. You may be able to transfer up to $100,000 per year from your Traditional or Roth IRA to the Madison Historical Society, a qualified charity, without paying income taxes on the funds transferred. And your gift may be tax-free to the Madison Historical Society. Contact your IRA custodian to request the necessary forms to make the gift.
Donating stock or other appreciated securities offers benefits for both you and the Madison Historical Society. For stocks and other appreciated securities that you have owned for at least one year, you can deduct your cost, plus your capital gain up to 30 percent of your adjusted gross income.
As a 501(c)(3) organization, the Madison Historical Society is considered an approved charity by the IRS. Your Financial Advisor or Broker can help you with this tax effective opportunity.
