Reducing Your Tax Burden

If higher taxes are on the horizon, don't worry! We have what you need to reduce taxes and keep your life and your plans on track through a variety of options that can include supporting public media.

Charitable Gift Annuity 

A charitable gift creates payments for you at fixed rates. You also receive income tax and possible capital gains tax benefits. They can be funded by your IRA.

Charitable Bequest 

A charitable bequest costs nothing today but allows you to live every day knowing you have helped others and reduced possible estate taxes.

IRA Rollover 

If you are 70 1/2 or above, you can direct your IRA administrator to make a distribution directly to the Iowa PBS Foundation. If you are over 73, this may fulfill your required minimum distribution. You won't receive an income tax deduction, but you won't have to pay tax on the distribution.
