Reduce Your Taxable Income with a QCD This Fall

As the leaves begin to turn and we approach year-end giving, consider a powerful charitable giving strategy: the Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). If you are age 70½ or older and have an IRA, you may be eligible to make a gift directly from your IRA to support AHN. If you are required to take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), a QCD can count toward satisfying all or part of that requirement while excluding the distributed amount from your taxable income.

Discover whether a QCD may be right for you and how it can benefit both you and AHN. Visit our website for more information.
