Good News! The IRA Charitable Rollover Passed!
|
|
|
In "Division C -- the Tax Extenders and Alternative Minimum Tax Relief Act of 2008" of H.R. 1424, Congress extended an excellent charitable planning opportunity for both 2008 and 2009. This act permits an IRA owner age 70˝ or older to make a direct transfer to charity. The transfer may be up to $100,000 in one year and this IRA rollover will exist for year 2008 and year 2009. To find out how you can take advantage of this opportunity, call IMF VP of Development Heather Ortner at 800-452-2873.
