    Enter the 1099-R in Federal > Wages and Income > Retirement.  There will then be questions, including one about QCD's.

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

    First, make sure the IRA box is checked in the program. As you proceed through the interview section, you will encounter the screenshot below.

    Can I make a QCD?

    While many IRAs are eligible for QCDs—Traditional, Rollover, Inherited, SEP (inactive plans only), and SIMPLE (inactive plans only)* —there are requirements:

    • You must be 70½ or older to be eligible to make a QCD.
    • QCDs are limited to the amount that would otherwise be taxed as ordinary income. This excludes non-deductible contributions.
    • The maximum annual amount that can qualify for a QCD is $100,000. This applies to the sum of QCDs made to one or more charities in a calendar year. (If, however, you file taxes jointly, your spouse can also make a QCD from his or her own IRA within the same tax year for up to $100,000.)
    • For a QCD to count towards your current year’s MRD, the funds must come out of your IRA by your MRD deadline, generally December 31.
