Quick answer
The most tax-efficient charitable giving strategy for retirees over 70½ is the Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), which allows you to donate up to $105,000 per year directly from your IRA to charity. This satisfies your RMD without increasing your taxable income, potentially keeping you below IRMAA thresholds.
