Did you know about Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD)? If you have a traditional IRA, here's something to consider: A QCD is a distribution made directly from your IRA to a qualifying charity. The best part? It's non-taxable! Plus, you can't claim it as a charitable deduction. It's a win-win for lowering your taxable income while giving back.

"Give Back and Get Back - Charitable Contributions Tax Guide!" When donating to charity, ensure the organization is qualified by the IRS to make your contributions tax-deductible. Always obtain a receipt for your donation, detailing the date, amount, and organization. For non-cash donations, keep a list of the items and their condition. Remember, itemized deductions for charitable contributions can only be claimed if you don't take the standard deduction, so it's important to calculate which method saves you more on taxes.

Many donors write checks or use a credit card when gifting to nonprofit organizations. But did you know that donating with long-term appreciated assets (stocks, bonds, real estate, etc.) helps you avoid capital gains taxes and receive a charitable gift deduction? SCCF can help guide you with information like this to help you make the best decisions for you and your family. Contact us at 864.949.5800 or Admin@SCChristianFoundation.org to start your stewardship journey. #disciplinghearts #definingstewardship

Did you know? If you were age 70.5 or older, and you made donations last year DIRECTLY from your IRA to a charity (known as a Qualified Charitable Distribution), the 1099-R you’ll receive from your investment custodian won’t designate them as QCDs. The 1099-R will show them as normal distributions, and so there’s a danger that you’ll be taxed on them, despite the fact they were charitable contributions. Therefore, MAKE SURE you tell your tax preparer about the QCDs. If you don’t, you’ll pay tax on the amount withdrawn for that purpose, which wipes out the benefit of donating in the form of a QCD.
