Charitable IRA Rollover- If you are 70 ½ years or older, you are required to make an annual distribution from your IRA accounts. These payments are included in your adjusted gross income (AGI), and you pay taxes on those distributions. The Charitable IRA Rollover permits taxpayers to make donations directly to charitable organizations from the IRA without including or counting the distribution in their AGI. This lessens your annual tax bill by lessening your AGI. Note: Iowa residents will still pay state income tax on the distribution, but not federal income tax.  For more information click on the following link irs.gov/retirement and talk with your financial advisor.
