Retirement tax questions

Yes, there is a way to enter your QCD but you are going to need this workaround so tha Turbo Tax will recognize this as a Qualified Charity Distribution. 

  1. After logging into Turbo Tax, go to MY INFO and change your birthdate to 05/31/1948.
  2. After you do that go to federal>income and expenses>
  3. Retirement plans and Social Security>show more 
  4. Ira (401K), pension plan Withdrawals(1099R)>revisit

  5. After you select to review your 1099-R, scroll through the next few screens until you arrive at a screen entitled Tell us if any of these uncommon situations apply>I transferred all or part of this money directly to charity

  6. After you have enter the QCD information in Turbo Tax, go back to MY INFO and change your birthday to 05/31/1950.

  7. I have included a screenshot what this looks like once you change the birthdate to 05/31/1948.
