IRA Charitable Rollover

In late 2015, Congress passed the PATH Act to make the IRA Charitable Rollover a permanent provision of the law. Under the Rollover provision, distributions from both traditional and Roth IRA’s could be made directly to the donor’s selected charitable organization(s) without being included as taxable income to the donor.
