Retirement Accounts.  Individuals with a retirement plan, whether through an employer-defined contribution plan or an IRA, can name Hillbarn Theatre, Inc. as a beneficiary of the remaining balance at death.* Or make a current gift by directing up to $100,000 annually of required minimum distributions (“RMDs”) from retirement accounts to be paid to Hillbarn Theatre, Inc., and you don’t pay taxes on that distribution.
