• I'm sad and sorry about this news. I've learned a lot from you over the years. Thank you.

• Congratulations! When I was planning to retire from my IT career, I had a Plan B - if I were laid off - and a Plan A where I could choose when to quit. I wasn't laid off, but my IT group was reorganized and our work location changed, meaning a much longer commute. That and some other unpleasant changes made me decide to give six months' notice. Because I was leaving, I didn't have to go to the new location, and I had time to interview and train my replacement. I hope your retirement works out as well for you as mine has for me.

• Thank you for this additional information. I just looked up the form 990 for what will be my first charity and confirmed that the correct box is checked.

• Thanks. I take my RMD in early December, so I'm planning to do the QCDs in November.

• Thank you for this clear explanation of how QCDs affect taxes. I take the standard deduction and donate to various charities throughout the year. I plan to choose one primary charity and do a QCD this year, so I'll save your post and re-read it when I do my taxes next year.
