A Tax-Saving Tip
Many people don’t know that leaving their Individual Retirement Account (IRA) to a loved one may mean leaving them with a significant tax burden as well. By naming Action Against Hunger as the beneficiary of your IRA instead, you can make a lasting difference in the fight to end hunger while also avoiding those taxes.
