Where do i list a qualified charitable distribution from my IRA?

To report a qualified charitable distribution on your Form 1040 tax return, you'll use the 1099-R (even though there's no indication that it was a QCD). Enter the info as a 1099-R and you'll be asked in one of the follow-up question if it was a Qualified Charitable Distribution.

TurboTax includes the full amount of the distribution reported on your Form 1099-R on line 4a (IRA Distributions) of your Form 1040. The taxable amount reported on Line 4b will be the total distribution less the QCD amount and will have "QCD" entered next to it. What is a Qualified Charitable Distribution?

Here's how to enter your 1099-R:

1. Open (continue) your return if you don't already have it open
2. Search for 1099-R and select the Jump to link in the search results
3. Answer Yes on the Did you get a 1099-R? screen
   • If you land on the Review your 1099-R info screen instead, select Add Another 1099-R
4. Answer any questions until you get to the import screen. You'll be prompted to enter your financial institution account info and TurboTax will directly import your forms
   • If you prefer to type it in yourself, select Change how I enter my form and continue through

Just a heads up that some states do not recognize QCD's, so you may still owe state tax on the distribution.
