Name Adult & Teen Challenge as a Beneficiary of Your Retirement Plans or Bank Accounts

Like life insurance, the easiest way to help Adult & Teen Challenge of Texas is to name it as first, second, or last beneficiary of all or part of whatever is remaining in your retirement fund at the time of death. If your retirement plan is with your employer, simply ask for a change of beneficiary form.

Tax Benefits When Giving Through this Method

• All 401(k)s and 403 (b)s pass tax-free to one’s spouse, but will be taxed as ordinary income at both federal and state levels.
• No taxes are levied if donated to your favorite charities. Due to high tax rates, many supporters have found that it makes financial sense to allocate the residual amount of their retirement savings to Adult & Teen Challenge of Texas as we do not pay taxes on these gifts.
• Donors age 70 ½ and older may direct lifetime distributions from their IRAs to Adult & Teen Challenge of Texas. This distribution will count toward your required minimum distribution, and will not be included in your taxable income.
• You can escape both income AND estate tax levied on the residual left in your retirement account. These taxes can eat up the principal of your account when transferred to your heirs.

Designating your favorite charity as the beneficiary of an IRA, insurance plan, stock or bank account can minimize both estate and income taxes- while still allowing the transfer of other assets to your loved ones. There are many ways to make a gift. We can assist you as you realize your charitable goals.
