Did you know...Individuals age 59 1/2+ can make distributions from an IRA account? For those currently taking a "required minimum distribution" (RMD), there are added tax benefits. Starting in 2026, you may make a "qualified charitable distribution" (QCD) of up to $111,000.00 from your IRA and pay ZERO TAX, provided gifts are a direct transfer to Lakeshore Lutheran from your financial institution. These distributions also qualify as part or all of your RMD requirement. The may even lower your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI), which can help avoid higher Medicare Part B premiums and other income-based limits.
If you are interested in blessing Lakeshore Lutheran with a charitable distribution from your IRA, please contact the church office or your personal IRA account representative. Thank you for considering this.
