BSPAC P.O. Box 243 Borrego Springs, CA 92004 IRA DISTRIBUTIONYou may be able to make a gift to the BSPAC with a distribution from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) and take advantage of tax savings. The current law extends the charitable IRA rollover provision indefinitely – with no expiration date – allowing individuals to make qualifying gifts every tax year. So even if you chose to support the BSPAC in the past you may do so once again. Under The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015, Americans over the age of 701⁄2 may distribute up to $100,000 in a calendar year from an IRA to the BSPAC or other qualified charities free of federal income tax. Guidelines • You must be 70 1 ⁄ 2 or older. • You may distribute any amount up to $100,000 in a calendar year to charity, as long as it is completed by December 31 of the year in which you intend to make the charitable distribution. • Your IRA administrator must make the distribution directly to the charity. For a sample letter of instruction to your IRA administrator requesting a distribution to the BSPAC, see below. If you have questions, send us an email at [email protected]. Before proceeding, you should consult with your tax advisor to discuss your particular situation, including any impact of your state's tax laws. All IRA charitable distributions are restricted from receiving benefits, including dinner vouchers and gala tickets. Gifts may be sent to:
