GIVING FROM YOUR INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNT (IRA)

There’s a special way to support KMFA if you are age 70 ½ or older through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA). The IRA Charitable Rollover was first enacted as part of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 and permanently extended in the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015. Now, you can make a charitable gift directly from your IRA while excluding the amount of that gift from your adjusted gross income (AGI).

Please direct your financial advisor or IRA custodian to make checks payable to KMFA and mail to:

Capitol Broadcasting Association, Inc. – KMFA Classical 89.5
PO Box 151389
Austin, TX 78715

KMFA’s Tax ID is 74-6076827 (Capitol Broadcasting Association, Inc.)

Please include your name and address with your gift so we can send you a tax receipt. Please direct questions to Virginia Alvarez at 512.615.6902 or valvarez@kmfa.org.

ADVANTAGES TO YOU:

You can use an often-overlooked asset to make a gift to KMFA.
The IRA Charitable Rollover permits you to make donations directly to charitable organizations such as KMFA from your IRA without counting the distribution as part of your AGI and, consequently, without paying taxes on it.
You don’t recognize the distribution as income for federal income tax purposes.
The distribution counts towards your minimum required distribution for the year.

TO QUALIFY:

You must be 70-1/2 or older and required to take an annual distribution from your IRA.
Your total combined charitable IRA rollover contribution cannot exceed $100,000 in any one year. (Married couples may be able to contribute up to $200,000.)
Charitable contributions from an IRA must go directly to a public charity that is not a supporting organization. Contributions to donor-advised funds and private foundations, except in narrow circumstances, do not qualify for tax-free IRA rollover contributions.
Distributions can only be made from traditional Individual Retirement Accounts or Roth IRAs. Charitable donations from 403(b) plans, 401(k) plans, pension plans, and other retirement plans are ineligible for the tax-free treatment. Distribution must be made directly from the IRA trustee payable to KMFA or another qualifying non-profit.
Qualified charitable distributions from IRAs are not eligible for tangible benefits. You may still receive name recognition in KMFA’s new home.
You must receive an acknowledgement from KMFA or other charity for each rollover contribution.

We recommend that you seek advice from your accountant prior to making a charitable rollover as personal circumstances can have a significant impact on whether charitable rollovers are advantageous. In order to benefit from a 2020-eligible IRA contribution, plan to contact your IRA administrator as soon as possible as some administrators may place a deadline on requesting transfers.

WHAT IS A DONOR ADVISED FUND?

A donor advised fund (DAF) allows you to combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to easily support KMFA and other public charities through cash, appreciated securities, and other assets. DAFs allow you to make a charitable contribution, receive an immediate tax deduction, and then recommend grants from your DAF account over time to the nonprofits you wish to support. Please note that KMFA does not provide tax or legal advice. Speak with your professional tax or legal advisor with questions about donor advised funds and gifts to KMFA.
