Donations Are Tax-Deductible

SDWS's status as 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization means that your donation can be deducted from your income taxes. (Your tax advisor should be consulted.) SDWS Tax ID Number is 95-3153264

IRA Charitable Rollover

An IRA Rollover is not tax-deductible, but it does not count as income.

At age 70½ people with Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) are required to begin taking annual minimum distributions. The law allows owners of IRAs and Roth IRAs to make tax-free gifts directly from an IRA to any qualified charity, such as the San Diego Watercolor Society (Federal Tax ID 95-3153264).  The gift does not need to be claimed as income and would not be taxable, but it would count towards your annual minimum required distribution.  

To make an IRA Charitable Rollover gift to SDWS

• You must be age 70½ or older.
• The gift cannot exceed $100,000 each year per taxpayer.
• Funds must be transferred directly from your IRA or Roth IRA to SDWS (Federal Tax ID 95-3153264).
• Please note that such a gift does not additionally qualify for a charitable deduction.

Any gift can be specified for either general use or for a specific purpose or program.
