Example
Richard and Ann, ages 47 and 45, hope to retire early.

They both save the maximum allowed in their tax-deferred retirement plans. They also invest in the stock market but have had to report significant dividend income.

In order to expand their tax deferred savings Richard and Ann establish a $10,000 deferred charitable gift annuity.

The benefits of such a plan include the following:


Income Benefits:  
  Payout Rate (based on deferral until age 65) 16.8%
  Annuity Payments (fixed for life beginning at age 65) $1,680
  Immediate Charitable Deduction $5,480
