IRA Charitable Rollover
The Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 (H.R. 4853) extends the IRA Charitable Rollover provision until December 31, 2011. The new law will extend the charitable rollover and allow donors to make qualified charitable distributions through January 31, 2011 and elect to have them treated as qualified charitable distributions in 2010. This change may be a particular benefit to donors who would like to take advantage of the rollover in both 2010 and 2011 but may not have time to make the 2010 distribution prior to December 31, 2010.
