I called the state of Kansas Revenue Dept again. And again they told me I could claim the charity RMD I used as a QCD on Federal form 1040SR 12b on the state itemize schedule A as a charity contribution.
I wish that was right, but can't believe it is right. After all that lowered my Fed AGI and the state form K40 to calculate state income tax starts out with federal AGI to compute state tax. I wasn't able to itemize on federal side, but can on state. I know the federal side don't let you use the charity RMD to itemize (even if I could) if you use it as a QCD on 12b.
So I made an appointment for a face to face with state. If they are going to let me put it in the state schedule A for itemized deductions, that will be like using it twice. Also, can't do that with Turbotax and will have to use paper or the state online which is free. Turbotax doesn't have anyplace to change a work form to make this happen. Guess I could go back and put it in the Federal schedule A anyway (even if wrong) as I still will have to take federal standard deduction.
