IRA Distributions and Rollovers

QCDs must come from an IRA (traditional or Roth) and not another kind of retirement account. No goods or services may be provided to donors in exchange for this type of gift. QCDs count toward a donor’s required minimum distributions for the year in which the gift is made.
401K’s and other plan accounts are not eligible, although you may be able to roll over funds from one of these accounts into an IRA and then make a QCD from the IRA in a subsequent year.
Another reason to make a QCD is to receive a tax benefit whether you’ve itemized deductions or taken a standard deduction. QCD’s can also allow you to make a charitable gift using your assets instead of current income.
You should consult your tax advisor for specific information regarding deductibility and other matters of tax law as they pertain to your circumstance.
