The Darbys are considering a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from Mr. Darby’s IRA in 2026. He is 75 years old and his Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) for the year is 85,000. He wishes to give 111,000 to a local animal shelter.
Which of the following is true?
- He can only distribute 85,000 as a QCD because it cannot exceed the RMD amount.
- The entire 111,000 is excluded from his gross income and satisfies his full 85,000 RMD.
- The QCD will generate a 111,000 itemized deduction on his tax return.
- He must first take his RMD as income and then write a check to the charity to get the deduction.
