Required Minimum Distribution Donation

If you are over 70 1/2 years old and need to take a required minimum distribution from your retirement account each year, you can instead donate the distribution and pay no taxes on that additional income. The provision for tax-free distributions from IRAs to charities like Sunflower Hill was made permanent in December 2015. We encourage you to discuss this philanthropic giving strategy with your tax advisor.
