QCD’s

Submitted by Anna Dujan on Wed, 2023-11-29 17:43

Can my client take a QCD from their IRA account if they are over 73, still working, and contributing to a traditional 403b or 401k account? If so, will their contribution still reduce their income or will it disallow their QCD? Very confusing. Thanks in advance.

  • Contributing to a 401(k) or a 403(b) has no effect on one’s ability to make a QCD or exclude the QCD from taxable income.
  • Only deductible traditional IRA contributions made in or after the year the individual reaches age 70½ have any effect on QCDs.  QCDs are includible in income to the extent that one has made such traditional IRA contributions.
