Do you have an IRA? Are you 70 ½ years or older? If so, you will need to take mandatory annual distributions that are subject to income tax. However, when you directly transfer IRA withdrawals to PCM (up to $100,000), you will not owe taxes on the distribution. This is an excellent way to continue supporting your favorite community music school while saving on your taxes!
