Retirement tax questions

Sorry for the confusion, lines 15a and 15b in my response, refer to lines on your 1040, page 1. If the QCD was distributed directly by Fidelity, line 1 of your 1099-R will show the entire distribution, line 2a will show the taxable portion and the distribution code should be 7. In affect, the difference between line 1 of the 1099-R and line 2a is the QCD. You are only taxed on the amount on line 2a.
