2023 Charitable Tax Giving Guide

The IRA Charitable Rollover provision has become permanent tax law; it allows individuals who have reached 72 to donate up to $100,000 directly from their IRA, 401k, 403b to eligible charitable organizations (including Rose City Park Presbyterian Church) without treating the distribution as taxable income. Dispersal from IRA account can take place monthly, quarterly or at a time of your choice. When you use this method your money must go directly from your IRA account to Rose City Park Presbyterian church. It cannot go to you personally then to the church because you will not be able pass it on tax free.

Stocks or Mutual Fund Transfers may be gifted to RCPPC by directly transferring shares through electronically transfer to the church’s investment account at New Covenant Transfer Company (NCTC). The value of the stock at the time is recorded by NCTC becomes the value of the stock. Depending on the length of time you have held the stock, this form of giving may protect you from paying capital gain taxes on the stock. Mutual Fund shares may be gifted, but the process is slightly more complicated.

Please be sure to consult your tax advisor, as tax situations vary widely.
