It seems that the tax free donation of RMDs from IRAs to qualified charities has been extended a couple of times, but I'm not sure that it's safe to say that it's a fixture. It is discussed in the 2013 version of Pub. 590. I don't see reference to there being a deadline in that publication, but before I pass on any information to a client about doing it for 2014, does anybody have a definitive answer as to whether it's available this year, and for the foreseeable future?
