Qualified Charitable Distributions to St. Ben’s
If you are over 70 ½, consider making charitable donations
from your IRA using a Qualified Charitable Distribution
(QCD). You can transfer up to $100,000 per year to an eligible
charity. This would be a great way to grow the parish endow-
ments, help with a special project, or pay your weekly giving in
one lump sum. While a QCD does not generate a charitable
deduction, you do not have to report the income. This is a
great option for people to still get a tax benefit even though
they are not able to itemize deductions.

Charitable deduction rules can be very complicated, and you
should work with your tax advisor to ensure you are maximiz-
                                                                       Sunday, February 13
