When you enter the 1099R for your IRA distributions, you will have additional pages with questions. One of the questions is "was any of this distribution for charity?" Select that option and an additional box will open up for you to list the dollar amount of charity. That's it. You will then see the charity on form 1040 line 4b, as compared to line 4a. Also the letters QCD will print right above like 4b of form 1040. Hope this helps.
