The Qualified Charitable contribution (QCD) only comes from an IRA or an inactive SEP or Simple Plan. Therefore the usual oversight is when entering your 1099R the box 7 "IRA/SEP/Simple" box should be checked.
Once that box is checked, and assuming your age on your return indicates age 701/2 or higher, and after entering the 1099-R form information, you will arrive at a page titled "Do any of these situations apply to you?"
On that page you will find/select "I transferred all or part of this money to a charity." On the next page you will enter the amount.
Tip: You may need to delete the form 1099R and re-enter the form information in TurboTax.
