I followed the instructions for the 1099R's I received from Allianz, and declared that they were RMD's and all donated to a qualified charity. Everything went well, the 1040 AGI was reduced accordingly and all went as it should. Then, I hit a snag in the Ohio 1040IT, it DID NOT adjust the AGI it used to accomodate the direct transfer of funds (RMD's) from Allianz to the qualified charities [501 (c) (3)'s] and my Ohio taxes went up by a factor 2. Is this because Ohio does not allow QCD's as the federal 1040, or is it a bug in the transfer of data from the federal form to the state forms.
