Where, in completing my Federal return, do I enter any QCDs? I almost forgot about this. Turbo Tax needs to improve tax preparation for this.

You indicate the distribution was a qualified charitable donation (QCD) when you enter the 1099-R form.     Where do I enter a 1099-R?  

 

To report a QCD, you’ll use a 1099-R form.   While entering your 1099-R in TurboTax, be sure to select the correct box 7 distribution code.   You’ll then be prompted to confirm the amount donated. 

 

How do I enter Qualified Charitable Distributions?

I actually found a "check" box that was there for entering the QCD amount.
I don't think last year's version of TT had that. It was a question, not a list
of "check" boxes - 1 of which is for a QCD entry. I found that while waiting 
for an answer to my question. But thanks for letting me know. Frankly, the less of the
changes to the process from year-to-year, the easier to complete the new
year's return. I know that tax law changes may make that impossible, at
times, but I don't believe there was any change in the law w/r/t QCDs. 
That's a hint! Just saying! I'm retired from programming. So, been there and
done that. -:)
