IRA CHARITABLE ROLLOVER PROVISION UPDATE

Welcome News!  You can still make a 2012 gift to the PCA Foundation for ultimate distribution to your favorite Christian ministries from your traditional or ROTH IRA.  But you must act quickly.

The January 1, 2013 tax law passed by Congress,
the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (ATRA), extends the IRA charitable rollover for 2012 and 2013, and allows transfers to qualify as 2012 gifts, if made prior to February 1, 2013.

The following is applicable:

1. You must be 70 1/2 or older
2. Your gift can be up to $100,000 for 2012, and
3. You can make an additional $100,000 gift in 2013.

If you made a gift directly to charity from your IRA in 2012, the law is retroactive to January 1, 2012, and you will not be required to report the distribution as personal income.  Also, if you received a distribution from your IRA in December of 2012, that amount can now be used to make a cash qualified charitable distribution for 2012 if made prior to February 1, 2013, without reporting the IRA distribution as income.

If you did not make a qualified charitable distribution in 2012, you still have until January 31 of 2013 to complete your gift.

Please call us at 800-700-3221, or email us at pcaf@pcanet.org, if you are interested in learning more about the IRA charitable rollover and how the PCA Foundation can help you gift to your favorite Christian ministries from your IRA.

Note: it is important that you call us to set up a special account before authorizing your IRA custodian to initiate a qualified charitable distribution to the PCA Foundation.  Also, please be aware that IRA charitable rollovers may not be transferred to a donor-advised fund.
