Congress Extends IRA Rollovers as Part of Bailout Bill

On October 3, 2008, as part of the $700 billion economic bailout package, Congress extended the Charitable IRA Rollover provisions from the 2006 Pension Protection Act, allowing taxpayers to take advantage of Charitable IRA Rollovers through December 2009. This means that donors who are at least 70 and 1/2 years old can transfer up to $100,000 per year from their IRAs directly to a qualified charity and avoid having to pay income tax on those amounts as a required minimum distribution.

Donors should consult their tax advisors to determine whether the funds transferred as a Charitable IRA Rollover may be includable in a donor's income for state and local tax purposes without earning an offsetting charitable deduction.
