If you are 70 ½ or older, charitable contributions from your IRA may count toward your annual required minimum distribution without having to record it as taxable income. You may be able to transfer up to $100,000 per year from your Traditional or Roth IRA to the Perry Historical Society, a qualified charity, without paying income taxes on the funds transferred. And your gift may be tax-free to the Perry Historical Society. Contact your IRA custodian to request the necessary forms to make the gift.
