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 Riley Children's Foundation, 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 Riley Children's Foundation program, so you direct a $100,000 payment from your IRA to us.

Here is a summary of the costs/benefits of making this gift:

Donor Individual, age 75
Withdrawal from IRA $100,000
Contribution $100,000
Income tax on withdrawal $0
Charitable deduction for withdrawal $0
Previous gift this year $100,000
Combined gift to us $200,000
Income tax on combined gift $0


Example 2

You are 65 years old. You withdraw $100,000 from an IRA and use it to create a Charitable Gift Annuity, making lifetime payments to you, then paying the remaining balance to Riley Children's Foundation.

Here is a summary of the costs/benefits of making this gift:

Donor Individual, age 65
Withdrawal from IRA $100,000
Contribution $100,000
Current from IRA $3,000 (3%)
Annuity payment $6,000 (6%)
Tax-free portion ($2,949)
Tax on IRA withdrawal $35,000
Charitable deduction $41,311
Deduction tax savings @ 35% $14,459
Net tax cost of gift $20,541 ($35,000 - $14,459)
After-tax income from annuity $4,932 / year
Additional annual income $1,932 ($4,932 - $3,000)
