Another resource to plan for your assets

Did you know you may have additional assets not covered in your will? If you have an IRA, 401(k), life insurance policy, or any additional accounts, these are called “non-probate assets” and they need to be planned for separately. Using this online tool, you can log all of your assets, name SUNY Oneonta as a beneficiary to advance our efforts, and receive printable instructions on how to set each one up with your broker.

Qualified Charitable Distributions from your IRA

If you are 70 1/2 or older, giving from your IRA helps reduce your taxable income — and for those over 73 who must take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), an IRA gift is a simple way to fulfill it! We have invested in a secure IRA donation tool to make it easier than ever to give from your IRA and receive tax benefits. It only takes a few minutes to use and will help complete your paperwork for you.
