Make a gift through your 爱尔兰共和军 starting at age 70½.
At age 72, you’re required to start taking a minimum distribution from your 爱尔兰共和军. 但是,从70岁半开始,你可以直接向慈善组织捐款. These donations are called Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs), and each eligible individual can give up to $100,000元/年. This is a smart way to give, as QCDs are not taxed. 72岁以后,qcd可以用来满足你每年的最低分配要求.
Reduce taxes for your heirs with one simple beneficiary change.
Many donors include charitable gifts to Pacific in their estate plans. One tax-smart strategy is to designate Pacific as a beneficiary in your 爱尔兰共和军, 401(k), 或者403(b)账户, 或者从你的退休账户中指定一笔慈善捐赠给太平洋,作为你遗嘱或信托的一部分. 从退休账户中指定一笔慈善捐赠可以让你的继承人收到其他的, non-taxable assets from your estate, which can save them income taxes.
Leverage “bunching” or use a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) to give annually.
If your total itemized deductions are less than $13,850 (for single filers) or $27,700 (for married couples filing jointly), 你可以在2023年将2023年和2024年的慈善捐款“捆绑”在一起,以超过2023年的标准扣除额. 然后,您可以在2023年的纳税申报表上列出扣除项目,并采取2024年税收的标准扣除. 这种策略可能会产生比两年标准扣除额更大的一次性扣除额.
利用通货膨胀.
As we continue to experience rising costs, your own assets may be increasing in value. 考虑用非现金资产而不是现金来做年终慈善礼物. Appreciated assets like stocks create two tax benefits: You’ll offset capital gains, and you’ll receive a charitable deduction on your tax return.
Take advantage of higher interest rates.
利率上升了,但慈善捐赠年金(CGA)的年支付率也上升了. 当你通过太平洋建立CGA时,你可以锁定这些较高的利率一到两辈子. This type of gift pays you or a loved one income for life, and the higher rates create a larger charitable deduction. 通过使用增值资产而不是现金来建立CGA,使你的税收优惠加倍.
