IRA Rollover Expires December 31, 2007. Act now!

If you are age 70˝ or older, the Pension Protection Act of 2006 contains a two-year IRA Charitable Rollover provision that allows individuals to exclude up to $100,000 from their gross income for cash gifts made directly to a qualified charity. The law is set to expire on December 31, 2007.

The special legislation allows you to make charitable gifts directly from a traditional or Roth Individual Retirement Account (IRA) without incurring federal income taxes.

NPT Creates Special Funds to Accept Tax-Free IRA Gifts

National Philanthropic Trust has created four (4) field of interest funds that can receive direct contributions from an IRA.  By leveraging the charitable contributions of many donors, NPT will support creative and effective organizations identified by our grantmaking professionals and leading experts to address critical needs in our communities.

How do I know if an IRA charitable rollover is right for me?

  • You are at least age 70˝, AND
  • You do not need the additional income generated by the minimum required distribution, OR
  • Your charitable gifts already equal 50% of your adjusted gross income, so you do not benefit from an income tax charitable deduction for additional gifts, OR
  • You are subject to the 2% rule that reduces your itemized deductions, OR
  • You do not itemize deductions.
