Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs)

If you are over age 72, you may give a gift from your IRA as a tax-free distribution to Just in Time for Foster Youth (JIT). This means an amount (up to $100,000 annually) transferred from your IRA directly to JIT can count toward your required minimum distribution without being considered taxable income for you. The distribution, also known as an IRA Charitable Rollover, is authorized by Section 408(d)(8) of the Internal Revenue Code. As always, please consult your advisor to determine if this type of gift is right for you.

A donation transferred directly from your IRA to Just in Time for Foster Youth is not considered taxable income on your federal income tax return, but it does count toward your required minimum distribution as long as the donation is received by December 31.
