STOCK GIFTS. If you have owned stocks or other publicly traded securities, donating them to Iron Spike may help you eliminate capital gains taxes typically incurred when selling such assets. You may also be able to claim a charitable deduction for their current market value. Contact us for information about our Fidelity brokerage account.
REQUIRED MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION. If you are over 72 and have an Individual Retirement Account (IRA), you must annually withdraw an RMD. RMDs are typically reported as taxable income. A gift to Iron Spike made directly from your IRA can be counted toward your RMD, lowering your gross income.
Your benefits can vary based on your individual tax situation. Please consult your tax advisor for details.
We also have an "Everyday Essentials" registry at Walmart.com. By following the link below, you can see things we need every day. Purchasing something from this list will keep our limited museum funds focused on train displays and paying the bills!
