Hello,
Welcome to the event:
Your question: "Can I use RMDs from my IRA to fund a donor advice fund? Is this a good strategy to reduce income?"
You can use your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from an IRA to fund a Donor Advised Fund indirectly (DAF). Direct Qualified Charitable Donations (QCD) to DAF are not allowed. Use QCD to reduce taxable income, and separately make donations to DAF from non-IRA fund. Alternatively, you may consider donating appreciated assets to the DAF instead.
