Description

QCDs allow taxpayers age 70 ½ and older to make donations directly from retirement accounts to qualified charitable organizations. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) added a haircut to charitable deductions. Beginning in 2026, contributions are reduced by .5% of a taxpayer's adjusted gross income. This, along with the increasing standard deduction and the 60% adjusted gross income limit for donations, escalates the tax benefits of QCDs.

To garner the benefits of QCDs, the taxpayer and charity must be qualified, the contribution must be within the applicable limits, and the transaction must be executed in accordance with the provisions of IRC Section 408(d)(8).

Although taxpayers have been able to utilize QCDs since 2006, many retirement planning, estate planning, and tax-saving opportunities have been underutilized by both taxpayers and practitioners.

Listen as Lawrence K.Y. Pon, CPA/PFS, CFP, EA, USTCP, AEP of Pon & Associates, explains how QCDs are most frequently used and provides recommendations for other unique uses of this tax planning vehicle.
