Support Mercy Flight Central while making the most of current tax law opportunities.

Recent tax updates may affect how and when you choose to give. The information below highlights several ways you can align your generosity with smart tax planning.

What’s New and What to Consider

1. Charitable Deduction for Non-Itemizers

All taxpayers, whether you itemize or not, may now deduct charitable gifts up to $1,000 for individuals and $2,000 for joint filers. This allows more donors to receive a tax benefit while supporting lifesaving missions at Mercy Flight Central.

2. The Higher Standard Deduction & “Bundling” Gifts

With the higher standard deduction in place, some donors may benefit from bundling Charitable Contributions into a single year. Making larger, more impactful gifts in select years may allow you to itemize deductions and maximize your tax benefit.

3. IRA Charitable Distributions (Age 70 ½ +)

If you are 70½ or older, you can make tax-free charitable distributions directly from your IRA—now up to $108,000 per year. These Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs): - Count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) - Are excluded from taxable income - Provide a powerful way to support Mercy Flight Central’s mission.

Thank You for Your Support

As always, we encourage donors to consult with a tax or financial advisor to determine the giving strategy that best fits their individual circumstances.
