Lifetime Gift from a Retirement Account
(Gift Example)
The first example illustrates an outright gift from an IRA by a donor over age 70½.
The second example illustrates the costs and benefits of a withdrawal from an IRA by a donor younger than 70½, used to fund a life-income gift.
Example 1
You are 75 years old and your adjusted gross income will total $200,000 this year. Earlier in the year you contributed $100,000 to DU, so you have reached the limit (50% of adjusted gross income) on charitable gifts you can deduct this year.
You want to provide additional support for a DU program, so you direct a $100,000 payment from your IRA to us.
