A deferred gift annuity is a simple contract between you and institution that benefits Salus University or one of its colleges.
In exchange for your irrevocable gift of cash, securities, or other assets, Salus University agrees to pay one or two annuitants you name a fixed sum each year for life, with payments starting at least one year after your gift. The older your designated annuitants are at the time of gift and the longer payments are deferred, the greater the fixed income Salus can agree to pay. In most cases, part of each payment is tax-free, increasing each payment's after-tax value.
Payments are usually made annually, semiannually, or quarterly
Example: If you irrevocably transfer $50,000 in cash to the institution in exchange for a $3,900 annuity for an annuitant, age 72, starting at age 73.
Your Benefits Include:
- You will qualify for a federal income tax deduction of approximately $20,366. Your deduction may vary modestly depending on the timing of your gift. Note that deductions for this and other gifts of cash and non-appreciated property will be limited to 50% of your adjusted gross income. You may, if necessary, take unused deductions of this kind on tax returns over the next 5 years, subject to the same 50% limitation.
- Your designated annuitant will receive fixed payments in quarterly installments totaling $3,650 each year, starting at age 73, for life. In addition, $2,146 of each year's payments will be tax-free for the first 13.8 years.
- Your estate may enjoy reduced probate costs and estate taxes.
- You will provide generous support to Salus University or one of its Colleges.
