The US Treasury took an amazingly positive action (can you believe it?). They decreed that any investor can assign their 2024 RMD (Required Minimum Distribution from a 401(k) or IRA) to a qualified 501(c)(3) charity, allowing the investor to avoid declaring their RMD as income—potentially preventing them from jumping into higher state and federal tax brackets. In the past, one would have to take the RMD as income and then make a tax-deductible donation (depending on exemptions) to their favorite charities.What a great way to build your Legacy!As you know, I run A Brighter Day Charity…
