How did you remove your RMD? You had to have the IRA account send the donation directly to the charity. You can not get the cash and send it yourself. I just did one and my IRA sent me a check but it was made out to the charity not me. I then mailed it to the charity.
If you made a QCD you still enter the 1099R for the full amount. Then a couple screens later it will ask if it was a QCD. Then the amount will be deducted from 1040 line 4b with the letters QCD by it.
