If you’re 70½ or older, you can support PBS Charlotte and potentially reduce your taxes through a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD).

A QCD allows you to donate directly from your IRA to PBS Charlotte. Benefits include:

• Reduce your taxable income
• Lower your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)
• Support public media that inspires, informs, and educates our community

What is a QCD?

A QCD lets you donate up to $105,000 per year from your IRA directly to a qualified charity. The donation is excluded from taxable income, even if you don’t itemize deductions.

Eligibility:

• Age 70½ or older
• Donation from a traditional IRA
• Cannot claim a charitable deduction for the gift
• Cannot receive goods or services in return

Benefits:

• Tax-free – reduces taxable income and Adjusted Gross Income (AGI)
• Satisfies RMDs – counts toward your required distribution
• Supports causes you care about

What is an RMD?

A Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) is the minimum amount you must withdraw annually from retirement accounts starting at age 73. A QCD can satisfy your RMD without increasing taxable income.
