Donors who are at least 70 and half years old may make a gift from an IRA account by using a qualified charitable distribution. This option counts toward distribution requirements (RMD).
Qualified charitable distributions (or QCD, also called an IRA charitable rollovers) bypass recognition for income tax of up to $111,000 per year from an IRA. A spouse can also make up to $111,000 QCD, if the couple files a joint income tax return.
