IRA Rollover Contributions

In 2006, a measure was passed that allows individuals who are 70½ years old or older to contribute up to $100,000, tax free, from an IRA to a charitable organization of their choice without reporting the withdrawal as taxable income. Additionally, such charitable contributions may be used to fulfill all or part of one’s required minimum distribution for 2015.

In order to continue offering this tax break, Congress needs to renew it each year. Congress has renewed this legislation every year since 2006. However, it has not yet been renewed for tax-year 2015.

If you are considering a charitable gift from your IRA for CBE during tax-year 2015, we encourage you to consult your accountant or financial advisor to ensure that your contribution is complete before January 1, 2016.
