Free webinar on Contributing to Church Ministries directly from Retirement Accounts on September 23

The Take Charge Total Wellness Foundation in Bloomfield will host a free online Zoom webinar for seniors on Tuesday, September 23 at 7 p.m. EDST. "Contributing to Your Church Ministries Directly from Your Retirement Accounts" will be facilitated by Colchester resident Brenden Healy, CPA.

The webinar will share how seniors may save money on federal taxes by making contributions to their church from their retirement accounts. By law, at a certain age, seniors are required to begin withdrawing money from their 401(k), IRA or other retirement accounts, and must pay taxes on the money they withdraw. However, seniors who set up the process to have their retirement money sent directly to the church pay no taxes on the donated money.

Healy has decades of expertise working with individuals and non-profits. He holds a B.S. in Accounting from Central Connecticut State University and a M.S. in Taxation from the University of Hartford. He is an active member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Connecticut Society of Certified Public Accountants, where he served as Chairman of the Society's State Taxation Committee and as a member of its Board of Directors. He is Partner-in-Charge of Tax Services at Whittlesey's office in Hartford.
