Did you know that you can cut your tax bill by donating to a good cause?
You may find that you do not need all of the money the government is requiring you to take. Consider using some of it for a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). The IRA Charitable Distribution allows individuals age 70½ and older to make direct transfers, up to $100,000 per year, to 501(c)(3) charities such as the Tallahassee Senior Citizens Foundation, and avoid taxation on the income otherwise received. Talk with your IRA administrator.
It’s a win-win - reduce your tax bill while supporting the good work we do at the Senior Center!
