How do I put an entry in line 15a? I made a QCD from and RMD and am unable to override in line 15a.

I was 70.5 on December 10, 2020 and made a QCD shortly thereafter. TurboTax is not asking me the followup question you describe to get the QCD handled as you describe.

See the workaround for this bug that I posted above, 5 replies up.

My husband took a distribution from his traditional IRA  He used part of it to make a QCD.  He was 701/2 at the time, code 7 shows in the box and the IRA/SEP/Simple box is checked.  I still do not get the charity question on the next screen.

Delete the Form 1099-R and when reentering it indicate that none of the distribution was RMD.  Because RMDs were waived for 2020, his distribution was not an RMD even though that was the original intent of the distribution.

I was 70 1?2 last year.

The IRA simple box is checked but the software is not asking me about charitable distributions.

Is Turbotax 2020 properly programed to seek information about QCDs for users who are 70 1/2 and 71 and under the new tax law  not required to make RMDs but are eligible to make QCDs?

See my post above about temporarily changing your birthdate to work around the TurboTax bug that is preventing TurboTax from allowing you to indicate that the distribution was transferred to charity.
