TurboTax will not pick up a transfer to your church as a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD). In order to properly report a QCD in TurboTax, you will need to
My 1099 downloaded from my 401K shows total gross distributions, including charitable contributions I've made directly from the 401K. I thus have not included them in contributions. Should I subtract them from the reported distributions, or is there a place in turbotax to do that?
No, enter your 1099-R as is.
After you enter the 1099-R, the next screen will ask you if the IRA was inherited. The screen after that will ask you about RMD (but only if you were 70 1/2 last year). The screen after that will ask you if you gave any of this distribution to charity (again, only if you were 70 1/2 last year). This is where you enter the QCD amount.
Note that this "deduction" does not appear on your return, like on Schedule A.
Instead, the distribution minus the amount for the QCD is added to line 4b on the 1040. That is, TurboTax will not report the QCD amount as taxable income.
