Can I transfer my IRA to the Santa Barbara Foundation to set up a life-income gift, and avoid income tax on the transfer?
Under present law, any lifetime distributions from an IRA are included in your taxable income, even if these funds are transferred to the Foundation. You do, however, receive a current charitable deduction when you establish a life income gift, which would partially offset the amount included in your taxable income.
