Time is running out….for you to take advantage of the IRA Charitable
Rollover and other critical giving incentives before December 31, 2011.
If you are 70½ or older, you can instruct the administrator of your IRA to make a direct distribution in 2011 to Jewish Family Services to support our annual campaign or to endow a gift.
A direct distribution (also known as a charitable rollover) counts toward your annual IRA minimum distribution requirement. To qualify, the money may not be distributed to you personally, even if you intend to immediately transfer the funds to Jewish Family Services.
Unlike a cash withdrawal from your IRA, your direct distribution will be excluded from income for federal purposes and not taxed. It won’t be eligible for a charitable tax deduction, but won’t count toward the annual percentage limitation on your other deductible gifts either. Unfortunately, these IRA distributions can’t be made to donor advised funds, supporting organizations, or life income giving vehicles.
This communication is not intended, nor should it be relied upon, as legal, tax, accounting or other professional advice. Please seek the advice of your professional advisor before you make a charitable IRA rollover gift to ensure that such a gift is right for you.
Want to donate your car to JFS?
Vehicle donations are a hassle-free and easy way to make a tax-deductable contribution to JFS. Proceeds from the sale of your unwanted car, truck, or RV go directly towards the JFS mission to support and strengthen our community. It is fast and easy. All you need is the VIN number and car title, and about 5 minutes!
Simply email our partners, Charitable Auto Resources, or call 877-JFS-4-CAR (877-537-4227). Please tell them you’re associated with JFS of Greater Kansas City.
Charitable Auto Resources will handle everything, including the pickup of your car.
