Qualified Charitable Distributions

Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs), also known as IRA Charitable Rollovers, can be a tax-efficient way to support the causes you care about while potentially reducing taxable income. A QCD is generally a non-taxable distribution made directly from your IRA (excluding SEP or SIMPLE IRAs, in most cases) to a qualified charitable organization, such as the Quad Cities Golf Classic Charitable Foundation (d/b/a John Deere Classic & Birdies for Charity).

Eligible individuals may direct a portion of their IRA to charity each year, subject to annual IRS limits and applicable rules, which can help lower taxable income. In certain situations, these distributions can also count toward required minimum distribution (RMD) obligations.

Because eligibility requirements, limits, and tax implications are subject to change and may vary based on individual circumstances, it’s important to consider your unique situation. Please consult your financial or tax advisor for guidance specific to your needs.

To learn more about QCDs, eligibility and RMDs, please visit IRS.gov

Please note: Qualified Charitable Distributions are not eligible for JDC/Platinum Tee Club benefits per IRS regulations.
