Can a QCD be made from an inherited IRA?

[jeffdaddio]

I made charitable deductions from an inherited IRA, however can find a screen that allows me to input that information.  Am I missing something?  Thanks.

Yes. If making a QCD from an inherited IRA,  you, the beneficiary  would still need to be over age 70½ to qualify.

If your birth date tells Turbotax (TT) that you are over 70.5, you get the interview questions to designate the QCD. If you're not getting it, try deleting the 1099-R and start over

The question about having the money sent to charity is asked in the questions that immediately follow the entry of the Form 1099-R details, but only if you were age 70½ or over in 2018.

Appreciate the clarification, many thanks.

Just be aware that some states do not recognize QCD's, so you may still owe state taxes.
