I retired in 2022 after age 70 1/2. I made non-taxable contributions to my 457 plan of $28,000 in 2022 ($5,000from wages and $23,000 from leave payout.) These were my only post 70 1/2 contributions. I turned 70 1/2 in January of 2022 and retired in August 2022.
I rolled over the $300,000 in my 457 to an individual IRA after retiring in 2022.
I would now like to use QCDs to make charitable contributions from my IRA. When I read pub 590b it sounds like I will need to pay taxes on $23,000 in QCD donations from my IRA to cover my 457 post-70 1/2 contributions in 2022 before I can make any nontaxable QCD donations from my IRA.
My question. Am I correct? Does the rollover from the 457 to an IRA (or anything else) make any difference?
Thanks
