The Advantages of a Tax-Free Transfer from an IRA to ZELC
If you are 70 1/2 and need to start making Required Minimum Distributions (RMD) each year from your traditional IRA, you can request that a distribution be sent directly to ZELC. 
If you itemize, the tax deduction looks the same—at first blush. But because the transfer, called a qualified charitable distribution, keeps your required minimum distribution out of your adjusted gross income, it can help you stay below the income cutoff for some other taxes and charges. (For people who don't itemize their deductions, making the tax-free transfer can help them benefit from their charitable gift.)  If you have to take large RMDs from your retirement savings, you could be pushed into a higher premium level for Medicare, but making a tax-free transfer of that RMD to charity keeps that money out of the calculation for Medicare premiums. 
Talk to your IRA provider today to see if this method could be beneficial for your financial planning in 2019.
