If at least 70 ½ and want to donate from your traditional IRA, DON’T take a distribution to yourself (that is taxable).
Instead use the QCD rules…. Transfer up to $105k DIRECTLY from the IRA to charity.
It is not taxable to you, does not affect your Adjusted Gross Income and can use it to comply with the RMD (Required Minimum Distribution) Rules. That’’s ALL GOOD!
