Parents can assist by gifting a down payment, utilizing the annual gift tax exclusion, and considering Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs) for tax efficiency.

What is a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) and how does it benefit retirees? +

A QCD allows individuals aged 70½ and older to directly transfer up to $100,000 annually from their IRA to a qualified charity, satisfying part or all of their required minimum distribution (RMD) while reducing taxable income.
