IRA Rollover Extended
President Bush signed the $700 billion economic bailout bill (H.R. 1424, The Financial Rescue Package), which includes a two year extension of the IRA Rollover provision.
The provision will be made retroactive to January 1, 2008, and will apply to gifts made from that date through December 31, 2009.
The provision exempts from taxable income any funds transferred (“rolled over”) from an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) to a charitable organization. The following limitations apply:
- The donor must be age 70½ or older.
- The cap on annual IRA rollovers is $100,000.
- The contribution must be a direct gift to a charity (no planned gifts).
