Individual Retirement Account rollovers

A tax saving way to help International Medical Corps

A Special Opportunity for Those 70 ½ Years Old and Older
You can give any amount (up to a maximum of $108,000) this year from your IRA directly to a qualified charity such as International Medical Corps without having to pay income taxes on the money. Gifts of any value $108,000 or less are eligible for this benefit and you can feel good knowing that you are making a difference in the lives of people around the world. This popular gift option is commonly called the IRA charitable rollover, but you may also see it referred to as a qualified charitable distribution, or QCD for short.

Why Consider This Gift?*

• Your gift will be put to use today, allowing you to see the difference your donation is making.
• If you are required to take a minimum distribution, you can use your gift to satisfy all or part of your obligation.
• You pay no income taxes on the gift. The transfer generates neither taxable income nor a tax deduction, so you benefit even if you do not itemize your deductions.
• Since the gift does not count as income, it can reduce your annual income level. This may help lower your Medicare premiums and decrease the amount of Social Security that is subject to tax.

*Please consult your legal and/or financial advisor for guidance on IRS rules and restrictions, and your particular circumstances.

If you are still considering what to do about your legacy, you can make an impact today by donating now — thank you!
