All RMD donations are stock transfers that go directly from your IRA to Truepoint Wealth Counsel Client Services Team (call (800) 792-6648 or email clientservices@truepointwealth.com for more information). It CANNOT be sold or go into your bank account, and then you write a check, etc. Contact your IRA account holder/fiduciary, etc., for detailed instructions on how to make the stock transfer.
