(a) In General- Subsection (d) of section 408 (relating to individual retirement accounts) is amended by adding at the end
the following new paragraph:
THE Pension Protection Act 2006
(8) DISTRIBUTIONS FOR CHARITABLE PURPOSES
(A) IN GENERAL- So much of the aggregate amount of qualified charitable distributions with respect to a taxpayer made during any
taxable year which does not exceed $100,000 shall not be includible in gross income of such taxpayer for such taxable year.
(B) QUALIFIED CHARITABLE DISTRIBUTION- For purposes of this paragraph, the term `qualified charitable distribution' means any
distribution from an individual retirement plan (other than a plan described in subsection (k) or (p))--
(i) which is made directly by the trustee to an organization described in section 170(b)(1)(A) (other than any organization described in
section 509(a)(3) or any fund or account described in section 4966(d)(2)), and
(ii) which is made on or after the date that the individual for whose benefit the plan is maintained has attained age 70 1/2 .
A distribution shall be treated as a qualified charitable distribution only to the extent that the distribution would be
includible in gross income without regard to subparagraph (A).
`(C) CONTRIBUTIONS MUST BE OTHERWISE DEDUCTIBLE- For purposes of this paragraph, a distribution to an organization described
in subparagraph (B)(i) shall be treated as a qualified charitable distribution only if a deduction for the entire distribution would be
allowable under section 170 (determined without regard to subsection (b) thereof and this paragraph).
`(D) APPLICATION OF SECTION 72- Notwithstanding section 72, in determining the extent to which a distribution is a qualified
charitable distribution, the entire amount of the distribution shall be treated as includible in gross income without regard to subparagraph
(A) to the extent that such amount does not exceed the aggregate amount which would have been so includible if all amounts distributed from
all individual retirement plans were treated as 1 contract under paragraph (2)(A) for purposes of determining the inclusion of such
distribution under section 72. Proper adjustments shall be made in applying section 72 to other distributions in such taxable year and
subsequent taxable years.
`(E) DENIAL OF DEDUCTION- Qualified charitable distributions which are not includible in gross income pursuant to
subparagraph (A) shall not be taken into account in determining the deduction under section 170.

2007.'.
