Can my charitable contribution from my IRA count toward my RMD?

A properly completed Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) can count toward your Required Minimum Distribution.

But specific requirements apply, including how the money is transferred and which organizations qualify.

The important part: Don’t withdraw the money yourself and then write the charity a personal check
if you’re trying to make a QCD.

Call us before moving the money. In taxes, the route the money takes sometimes matters as much as where it ends up.
