Are you over the age of 70 1/2? Is the IRA/SEP/SIMPLE box checked on the form 1099-R that you entered?
If these questions are answered as Yes, then the TurboTax program would have asked you about a QCD.
See this TurboTax support FAQ for a QCD - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/form-1099-r/qualified-charitable-distrib...
I had no trouble. If you are over 70 1/2 and enter a 1099R for a IRA distribution it will ask if it was a Qualified Charitable Distribution. Be sure you check the little IRA box between boxes 7&8. It will show up on the 1040 line 4b as 0 with the QCD by it. You do not enter it again under Deductions.
If you are referring to a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD), then the amount of the distribution will be included on Form 1040 line 4a, but not line 4b.
That is how you get a tax advantage for donating the distribution to charity. Since it is not taxed on your return as income on line 4b, you do not include that amount as a charitable deduction for Schedule A.
To learn more, take a look at the following TurboTax article. It gives you the guidelines for how to enter it as well as the requirements: What is a Qualified Charitable Distribution?
