Also, a QCD is an exclusion from income, not a deduction.  The amount that you indicate is QCD never appears on line 4b to begin with and is indicated by the notation "QCD" next to line 4.

Also, it a bit unusual to make a QCD as an in-kind distribution because a QCD must be paid directly to the charity by the IRA custodian.  It's usually much easier to sell the shares inside the IRA and make the QCD in cash since it produces the same result.  If the shares are first distributed to you and you subsequently donate the shares to the charity, this does NOT qualify as a QCD.  Instead it must be reported as a charitable contribution on Schedule A.
