How the IRA LAW WORKS! • George, 75 years old, has $500,000.00 in an IRA and has decided to gift $85,000.00 this year to OBHC. • If George gifts $85,000.00 from the IRA, He will avoid paying income tax on that amount. • He cannot, however, claim a charitable deduction – it is a pure washout. • George has found an easy way to benefit OBHC without tax complications.
How it works………continued • If he desired, George could give more than $100,000.00. • The legislation allows a maximum $100,000.00 gift in both the 2011 and 2012 tax years. • So George could give $100,000.00 each year. If his spouse has an IRA and is 70 ½ or older, she can also give up to $100,000.00 each year.
