Charitable Donation Option for IRAs Qualified charitable distributions give traditional IRA owners the opportunity to give their required minimum distribution directly to a qualified charity so that they do not have to include the income on their income tax return. To be eligible, you must be at least 70 1/2 years old and must get a receipt from the receiving charity.
An RMD is the annual Required Minimum Distribution that you must start taking out of your retirement account after you reach age 70Â½. The amount is determined by the fair market value of your IRAs at the end of the previous year, factored by your age and life expectancy.
