This suggestion did not resolve my problem. The interview screen for "uncommon situations" did not include the option "I transferred all or part of this money directly to charity."
Another suggestion that I received made me aware that Turbo Tax has a glitch that does not allow people born between July 1, 1949 and June 30, 1950 (which I was), to claim a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). Apparently this is the result of a change in tax law increasing the RMD age from 70 1/2 to 72 1/2. Since I was not required to make an RMD, I never got the charity question, although the changed tax law still allows anyone over 70 1/2 to make a QCD. I was able to work around this by temporarily changing my birth year in Turbotax to 1948. This resulted in the transfer to charity question appearing in the "uncommon situations" screen. After making the appropriate entry, I changed my birth date back to the correct year. TurboTax needs to correct this.
