Give More to Charity, Less to Uncle Sam

What if your gifts to charity could come from money the IRS never gets to tax? In this episode of The Truth About Taxes & Retirement, Barry Watts walks through four strategies for charitable giving: qualified charitable distributions from your IRA, donating appreciated stock instead of cash, bunching several years of gifts into a donor advised fund, and charitable trusts. He covers the QCD rules for 2026, how a QCD can count toward your required minimum distribution, why the bigger standard deduction cost so many people their charitable deduction, and how he and Kelly give today. Our goal is to have a plan for giving that leaves more for the causes you care about. ????  Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/PceSCOBUAsc Learn more about building a retirement strategy here: https://wealthcarecorp.com/contact/ Get Watts on Wealth the ???? : https://a.co/d/bETW4aY Website: https://wealthcarecorp.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WealthCareCorp YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WattsOnWealth ????  Podcast: Watts on Wealth Radio Show https://pod.link/1737485633 ????  Podcast: The Truth About Taxes and Retirement https://pod.link/1520277576 Every Dollar App: https://www.ramseysolutions.com/ramseyplus/everydollar J.
