RMD Updates

 

NOTIFICATIONS OF SOME CHANGES FOR 2024

Increasing IRA Contribution Limits:  Starting in 2023, but depending on your income, the maximum IRA contribution is $6,500 total.  For those who are 50 years of age or older, there is a $1,000 catch-up limit (i.e. $7,500 total).

Starting in 2024, but still depending on your income, the maximum IRA contribution is $7,000 total.  For those who are 50 years of age or older, the $1,000 catch-up limit still applies (i.e. $8,000 total).

 

Required Minimum Distributions (RMD):  As of the beginning of 2023, the minimum age for taking required distributions was raised:  if at the end of this calendar year you will be 73 years old, then you will need to take RMD in the new year.  Call our office for more details.

 

Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD):  For those above 70½ years of age, you may give to a 501(c)(3) charity directly from your Traditional IRA or your Inherited Traditional IRA -- which means you don't need to pay taxes on that particular amount.  In addition, you can satisfy RMD requirements for the year after you turn 73.  Please call our office for more details.

If you have been taking advantage of the above QCD procedure, then you will want to fill out your tax forms correctly in order to receive the tax benefit.  Please have your accountant take a close look at the QCD instructional sheet we compiled.
