When you enter your 1099-R, one of the screens asks 'was this withdrawal an RMD', then another asks 'Transfer to Charity?'.
If you missed these on your original entry, you could delete your 1099-R and re-enter it to get those screens to come up for you.

After multiple re-entrys, the RMD, screen has 3 choices, all RMD, partial RMD, not a RMD. There never was any quetion about QCD or charity. The program needs to be fixed. How does one notify TT tech support to fix this?
QCDs allow IRA owners who are age 70 ½ or older to directly transfer up to $100,000 annually from an IRA to charity, tax-free. Please check these entries:
After the 1099-R entry screen, you should see the screen, Tell us if any of these uncommon situations apply. You will be able to mark the box that you transferred all or part of this money to charity. [See screenshots below.]

I am 70 1/2 born oct 1949. This is the screen I see.
There is still a bug. I had to change my birthday to be over 72 in order for that screen asking about charity to appear.
It is possible to simply repeat the path through the 1099R. On the screen "Do any of these situations apply?", check the box for "I transferred all or part of this money directly to a charity." No need to delete and repeat. But thanks for the clue.
