The Tax Smart Way to Better the World

In this weeks Financial Chaos Topic we discuss the following:

A Creative Way to Give and Avoid Taxes at the Same Time
If you give money to your church and other charitable groups and have appreciated mutual funds, stocks, or other holdings you need to check out this recent press release from Fidelity. Fidelity Lowers Minimums to their Charitable Gift Fund

If you are Charitable and Sick that the Government makes you take taxable RMD from your Retirement Accounts (read this)
The Pension Protection Act of 2006 included some great new opportunities for charitable giving. Generous individuals over 70.5 can now give to their favorite charitable organization from their IRAs and the gifts count towards their required minimum distribution (RMD). There is no charitable income tax deduction, but also no inclusion for taxes. By making a gift to charity from your IRA you can lower or meet the required minimum distribution for that year. This allows you to accomplish your charitable goals and reduce your tax liability.
