Federal law allows people age 70 1/2 or older to make direct transfers of up to $108,000 per year per person (indexed annually for inflation) to qualified charitable organizations from their Individual Retirement Account (IRA), without the withdrawal being treated as taxable income. The withdrawal can satisfy your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD). QCDs can be made to support any program at Hoffman Homes.
