You'll learn about Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) from Traditional IRAs, which allow you to donate up to $108,000 tax-free directly from your IRA (bypassing RMD taxes), versus utilizing Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) for highly appreciated assets like stocks. We illustrate how donating appreciated securities to a DAF can help you avoid up to a 23.8% capital gains tax on your gains, simultaneously providing a charitable deduction and offering flexible timing for your charitable giving. Discover how to strategically use DAFs to create additional Roth conversion space, potentially dropping from a 32% to a 24% tax bracket in a given year, and even leverage DAFs for anonymous giving. We also break down key updates from OBBBA starting in 2026, including the 0.5% AGI floor for itemized deductions and the new $1,000 Individual / $2,000 Married Filing Jointly deduction for non-itemizers, ensuring your giving strategy remains tax-efficient in 2026 and beyond. This is essential listening for maximizing impact and minimizing your tax burden. | Disclosure","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/QMBp4ueQC8kgGJT6p5R0uXjrbcTiKAgi9QK0kiNMFPA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8wYzY3/YjA3YWZlMmM4NTRl/ZTkwNWI5NTYyYTZm/NmQzZi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
