Making a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your IRA

IRA owners age 70½ and older can make up to $108,000 in tax-free charitable donations during 2025. While IRA distributions are generally taxable, QCDs remain tax-free if sent directly to a qualified charity by the trustee. For those age 73 or older, qualified charitable distributions (QCDs) also count toward the year's required minimum distribution (RMD). To make a QCD for 2025, IRA owners should contact their IRA trustee soon to ensure the transaction completes by year-end. Learn more about QCDs on irs.gov here.
