New Tax-Free IRA Gift Opportunity

The Pension Protection Act of 2006 allows owners of individual retirement accounts (IRAs) to make tax-free rollovers up to $100,000 per year from their plans to qualified nonprofits, including Lutheran Hour Ministries (LHM). This gift giving opportunity is unprecedented in U.S. tax law, and it provides you with an excellent opportunity to make a special gift to LHM and, at the same time, lower your taxable income for 2006.
