To enter your Qualified Charitable Contribution:

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 questions if it was a Qualified Charitable Distribution.

Where do I enter my 1099-R?

A qualified charitable distribution (QCD) is a distribution of funds from your IRA (other than an active SEP or SIMPLE IRA) directly by the trustee to a qualified charitable organization. It satisfies all or part of your required minimum distribution (RMD) for the year. 

What is a Qualified Charitable Distribution?

I was not provided with a QCD screen.  I have scrolled through it many times.  Thanks.

I just found the box I needed to check to be sent to the next screen where I could give the information about my Qualified Charitable Distribution.  The 1099-R I received from my IRA provider indicated only that I had taken a distribution from my IRA.  It also stated that the taxable amount was not determined.  So when I entered this 1099-R in Turbo Tax it showed it as a taxable distribution.  The following screen listed about 9 questions about that distribution.  One of them was, "Was any amount of this distribution given to charity?"  That was the box I had originally missed.  Once I clicked on that box, it took me to the screen where I could enter the information about the charitable distribution.  Then the full amount became exempt from taxation.
