Charitable IRA Rollover extended through 2009
The IRA rollover provision, originally enacted in 2006, permits donors age 701⁄2 or older to make tax-free charitable gifts, totaling up to $100,000 per year, directly from their IRAs to an eligible charitable organization, like Missouri S&T. The provision expires Dec. 31, 2009.
 
Charitable IRA Rollover requirements:
•  You must be 701⁄2  years of age
•  Tax benefits apply to direct rollovers up to $100,000 per year for tax years 2008-2009
•  The provision expires Dec. 31, 2009
•  The amount must be in the form of an outright gift; gifts for charitable gift annuities or charitable trusts do not qualify
•  Qualified charitable distributions must be direct rollovers from your IRA custodian to a charitable institution
•  No income tax charitable deduction is permitted for qualified charitable distributions
•  Qualified charitable distributions count against your minimum required distributions. 

There are many ways to make a charitable gift to Missouri S&T. Please consult your tax or financial advisor about the benefits of the Charitable IRA Rollover. For more information call Missouri S&T’s development office at 800-392-4112 or email giving@mst.edu.
