I'm assuming your are referring to Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) and that you are over 70 and 1/2.
When form
1099-R is entered in Turbo Tax (the retirement section), please be sure
that it is entered exactly as it appears on the form and that the IRA box is
checked. This will trigger questions about QCD. The software will
ask if a portion or entire distribution was a QCD. Please complete the
interview.
Finally, just as a
note... if you claim the distribution as a QCD, please do not enter
the amount as a charitable contribution in the Deduction and Credits
section. A QCD is not included in your taxable income and you can't
deduct it again under charitable contributions.
