(24,239 posts)203. One nice thing about turning 70 (actually, turning 70 1/2)
In the year you turn 70.5 (next year for you), you can make tax free charitable donations from your IRA.
Google "Qualified Charitable Distribution" for info.
It'll save you some tax money. Charitable donations only, not political donations, dammit
