WAMC Program Guide 1 Chartock continued from page 1 WAMC Live at the Linda - Broadcasts family, just as you are part of our family. By Wednesdays at 8pm on WAMC getting to know each and every one of us, we grow our community. The names and faces are familiar. 4/3 – Ray Wylie Hubbard / Dustin Welch (recorded 5/14/12) 4/10 – Dancing on The Air In addition to the age issue, research which we are privy to shows that our most popular program is 4/17 – Capital Blues Competition (recorded 7/14/12) Morning Edition from NPR. When we assemble a 4/24 – Chris Smither (recorded 8-11-12) panel to discuss the regional perspective on the Mike Doughty Private WEXT Show (recorded 2/25/12) very news our listeners have just heard, people NOTE: There is no Albany Symphony Orchestra broadcast tend to stick around. It's a great transition between this month. The ASO will return for two broadcasts in May. the hard news and Joe's interviews and community conversations which so many people (including For details on upcoming concerts, films and events at The Linda, tickets, parking information and directions, visit me) look forward to. We are including social www.TheLinda.org media in the mix and often the conversations extend long after the program has ended. We still have Vox Pop every day at 2 PM which gives people a chance to call in and express their WAMC Executive Staff opinions, or use social media to make contact. I Alan Chartock – President and CEO hope that everyone will give the new format a chance. Frankly, I love it. I think Joe does a Dona Frank-Federico– Chief of Staff masterful job of moving things along and keeping Selma Kaplan – Senior Vice President the discussions lively and interesting. Pat Cooney – Vice President, Operations

Another matter is the one thing that matters most Joe Donahue – Vice President, News/Programming to me and that is civility. I hear from so many of you who love and appreciate the radio station. I also occasionally hear from people who are Management Staff frustrated that they can’t have their book or memoir featured on the station. A lot of people Sharon Lescak – Membership Director listen to this station. Most people understand that Mary Jackson – Business Manager we do what we can but occasionally there are people who are very, very rude. The other day I Ian Pickus – News Director had a screamer on the phone that you would not Katie Britton – Programming & Outreach Director have believed. When I do the Vox Pop program I insist on civility. Every once in a while we get Ray Graf – New Media Director someone who thinks it’s fun to start screaming. Marian Wise – Grants Director That’s why we have a “dump button.” I have only had to use it a few times but one really wonders Stacey Rosenberry – Engineering/Operations Manager how some people’s mothers raised them. Graeme McKenna – General Manager, The Linda, WAMC’s Performing Arts Studio Despite my carping about misbehavior, I really Peter Koniuto – Fund Drive Manager have to tell you that almost everyone I speak with tells me how much they love and treasure the radio Stefanie Abel – Marketing /Underwriting Manager station. Five hundred people can tell you how Kristen Gilbert – Traffic Manager much they appreciate WAMC but if one goes for your jugular, it is upsetting. But hey, you know Michele Battle – Database Manager that. - Alan

Brockley Stockbridge, MA (413) 298-3926 www.berkshirebotanical.org/ If you’re taking a required minimum distribution (RMD) from an IRA in 2013 and want to help a favorite nonprofit institution, there’s good news. You can get a tax break on that RMD on the City of Pittsfield, MA portion that you pass on as a charitable contribution, thanks to legislation passed in the wake of the Office of Cultural Development fiscal cliff. (413) 499-9370 www.culturalpittsfield.com/ If you’re just reaching the age (70.5) that you have to start taking RMDs, you may not be familiar with this concept. It’s called a Qualified Charitable Distribution, and it’s had an odd history of Eleanor Roosevelt Center at Val-Kill being an on-again, off-again option since Congress first authorized QCDs for the 2006 tax year. Route 9G For all of 2012, the QCD option wasn’t available, although many were expecting it to be returned Hyde Park, NY to the IRS rule book by Congress at some point. (845) 229-5302 www.ervk.org/ The law gave taxpayers a very narrow window of taking advantage of the tax break for their 2012 taxes – letting those who took an RMD in December 2012 designate some of it to a charitable Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library institution by Feb. 1, 2013. For most taxpayers, what’s important is that you can use the tax break and Museum Route 9, Hyde Park, NY with any RMD you take during the 2013 calendar year to trim the taxes you’ll owe on your 2013 1-800-FDR-VISIT taxes. www.fdrlibrary.marist.edu/ Who should consider a Qualified Charitable Distribution? The Garrison Garrison, NY Consider this tax strategy if you: (845) 424-3604 www.thegarrison.com • Don’t need all of the income from your RMDs • Make charitable gifts, but don't itemize deductions (usually, charitable donations only benefit taxpayers Hildene who itemize) Manchester, VT • Make large charitable gifts, but can’t deduct them all because of adjusted gross income limitations (802) 362-1788 • Want to avoid being taxed on your RMDs www.hildene.org Be mindful of these limitations New York State Canal Corporation Albany, NY • You must be at least 70.5 when the gift is transferred www.canals.ny.gov • Total gifts cannot exceed $100,000 per year per IRA owner or beneficiary (married taxpayers with separate IRAs can give up to $200,000 total per year, but no more than $100,000 can come from each Olana Historic Site spouse's IRA) Hudson, NY • The gift must go directly from your IRA to a public charity – not to a private foundation, a supporting (518) 828-0135 organization, or a donor-advised fund www.nysparks.com • The gifts must be outright, not part of an annuity or charitable remainder trust. • Transfers must come from the IRAs directly to the charity. Assets in a 401(k) or 403(b), for example, The Olana Partnership need to be rolled into an IRA, and then make the transfer from the IRA directly to the charity. Hudson, NY • SEP-IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs and Roth IRAs don’t qualify for this tax treatment (518) 828-1872 www.olana.org If you’re thinking this sounds like a good option for you, take advantage of it now. As of this writing, it is not clear if this tax break will be offered in 2014 or later. Roosevelt-Vanderbilt National Historic Sites This article is provided by Thomas E.
