  • Families and older donors: People aged 70½ or older would be able to make direct, tax-excluded donations from eligible employer plans to qualified charities, subject to an "applicable amount" cap defined in the bill.
  • Retirement savers and plan types: The exclusion would cover SEP and SIMPLE plans and would apply the new rules to 403(b) annuity contracts and 457(b) eligible deferred compensation plans, making more retirement assets usable for charitable giving.

Lower taxes for seniors' plan gifts

You would be able to exclude certain direct charitable payouts from your employer retirement plan from taxable income. The rule would apply only if the plan pays the charity directly and you are at least age 70½ when the payout is made. It would cover qualified employer plans, including SEP, SIMPLE, 403(b) annuities, and eligible 457(b) plans, but not donor-advised funds or certain supporting organizations. The exclusion would be limited to an "applicable amount" under the tax code and would apply to tax years beginning after enactment.
