Here are some important notes and highlights of the law:
The distribution must be made from a traditional or Roth IRA.
You must be at least 70-1/2 years of age when the distribution is made.
Amounts given count toward your annual required minimum distribution.
The distribution must be made directly from the IRA to Lutheran Music Program.
Because circumstances may vary from person to person, donors should discuss plans with a professional tax advisor.
