.How do I enter required ira withdrawls, taxes paid on these withdrawls and qualified charitable contributions paid from these withdrawls?

These withdrawals were from a Vanguard IRA with them withholding the federal taxes directly and issuing checks to me in the charities names for distribution to the charities. I did not pay taxes on the charitable contributions as these were all qualified charities.

The IRA custodian issued the checks made out to the charity and you just delivered them?

Retirement tax questions

A check made out to the charity that is drawn *directly* from the IRA does qualify.   A personal check from a personal checking account does not.   It does not matter who delivers the check to the charity.
