Deductions & credits

 If you made a QCD it will show up on 1040 line 4a and 0 taxable on 4b with the QCD by it.  You get credit for it because it is not taxable.  You only enter it from the 1099R, nowhere else.  You can't take a deduction for it because it's not included in your taxable income in the first place.
