3) Strategic Gifts That Pay You Income
Mission Flight accepts gifts through charitable remainder trusts and charitable gift annuities.
These planned giving vehicles are relatively common and can provide you with tax benefits, current income for you or your family, and significant estate planning advantages. At your request we will prepare an illustration of your potential tax benefits and income.
4) IRA Charitable Distribution
If you are 70 ½ or older, you may give up to $100,000 a year directly from your IRA to qualified charities without paying income taxes on the Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD).
You can begin using QCDs at 70 ½, but it will not count toward your required minimum distribution until age 72. Contact us for more details about this great tax strategy.
