A Win/Win Way to Donate
We would love for MVP to be in your will but we would rather have you around. Some of our donors have created a win for MVP as well as a win for themselves. Your probably know that when you turn 73 years old, you have to take a percentage out of your Individual Retirement Account (IRA). This is called your Required Minimal Distribution (RMD). When that money comes out of the retirement account and goes into your personal account, it is taxed according to your income bracket. For example, if you are in the 30% bracket and you take out $3,000, you get approximately $2,000. However, if you choose to donate the money, it goes from the IRA directly to the non-profit without being taxed. Therefore, the non-profit (MVP) will get $3,000 as in the example above and you can claim the full $3,000 deduction. How do you do it?
- Meet with your financial account manager or communicate directly to the company that manages your IRA.
- Tell that person/company that you want to use a portion or all of your RMD to go to a charity.
- Give the manager/company the 503C Tax ID for the charity. MVP’s is 81-5189538
- The account manager/company will know that the money goes directly to the charity
and is never in your personal account.
It’s a Win/Win
