IRA Charitable Rollover
The IRA Charitable Rollover was made permanent for 2015 and beyond through a provision of the “Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015”.
This allows people age 70½ or older to make direct transfers up to $100,000 per year to charitable organizations from their Individual Retirement Accounts, without the withdrawal being treated as taxable income.
- From which accounts can I make transfers? Transfers must come from your Individual Retirement Account(s) directly to the ACLU Foundation. The Charitable Rollover does not apply to 401(k), 403(b), or other retirement plans.
- To which organizations can I make gifts? You may make gifts to tax-exempt, 501(c)(3) organizations, including the ACLU of Virginia Foundation.
- How do I make an IRA Charitable Rollover? Contact the financial institution that holds your IRA about how to instruct them to make a direct charitable transfer. You may instruct them to make a distribution to American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia, 701 E. Franklin Street, Ste. 1412, Richmond, VA 23219 Tax ID# 52-1283242. Please notify us if you would like a sample letter of instruction to send to your financial institution.
- Benefit of Giving from Your IRA: Giving directly from your IRA to the ACLU of Virginia Foundation is not considered a taxable withdrawal. These gifts will be tax free.
Please note: This information is not intended as tax or legal advice. We recommend that you consult with your legal and financial advisors to learn how a gift would work in your circumstances. Laws and regulations governing all gifts and availability of certain life income gifts vary by state.
