How do I enter a QCD in 2022 Premium Online? The 1099-R TurboTax interview doesn't give me the charity deduction questions that all the entries in Help refer to.

Make sure you did a qualified charitable distribution (QCD). The distribution has to be from an IRA and made directly by the trustee of the IRA to a qualified charity. A QCD reduces the amount of your IRA distribution that you are required to recognize as income.

  • You must be at least 70 1/2 years old on the day of the distribution. The maximum amount that may be contributed is limited to $100,000. The qualifications and limitations are applied separately to each spouse on a joint return.

Because the QCD reduces your taxable income, you can’t also claim a charitable deduction for these same donations, if you itemize, since this would be double-dipping.

 

To enter your qualified charitable distribution (QCD):

  1.  Sign into your TurboTax Account
  2. Click on Continue where I left off
  3. On the left side screen, select Federal then Wages & Income
  4. On the Wages & Income screen, scroll to IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R) and click on Edit/Add
  5. If you come to the Review your 1099-R info screen, Edit the 1099-R that relates to your QCD.
  6. Continue with the onscreen interview.
  7. On the Do any of these situations apply to you? screen, select I transferred all or part of this money directly to charity.
  8. Continue with the onscreen interview until complete.
