Retirement tax questions

Please read JulieH1's answer carefully.

 

If the money went straight from the IRA custodian to the charity AND you were at least 70 1/2 last year, then after you enter the 1099-R that the distribution was reported on, TurboTax will ask you if any of the money was a QCD.

 

Otherwise you report it as a regular contribution on Schedule A/Itemized Deductions and it is not a QCD.
