Qualified Charitable Distributions

See the attached PDF for further and extensive details.

Dated: 18 Octobter 2025

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service reminds individual retirement arrangement (IRA) owners age 70½ and older that they can make up to $108,000 in tax-free charitable donations during 2025 through qualified charitable distributions.

For those age 73 or older, qualified charitable distributions (QCDs) also count toward the year's required minimum distribution (RMD).

Generally, IRA distributions are taxable, but QCDs remain tax-free if sent directly to a qualified charity by the trustee. To make a QCD for 2024, IRA owners should contact their IRA trustee soon to ensure the transaction completes by year-end.

Each eligible IRA owner can exclude up to $108,000 in QCDs from taxable income. Married couples, if both meet qualifications and have separate IRAs, can donate nearly double that of an individual.  QCDs don’t require itemizing deductions.

For those planning ahead the QCD limit is subject to annual adjustment, based on inflation. For that reason, the annual QCD limit will rise to $115,000 in 2026.
