How do I track IRA charitable rollovers?

Question

My IRA's are CD's recorded in securities accounts.  I have directed that the required minimum distributions be paid to charities (aka IRA charitable rollover).  It means I do not receive cash or taxable income on the $ dispersed thus, and the because there is no taxable income, there is no charitable deduction on this dispersement, either.  How do I account for this in Q, which appears to never have heard of it. at least in its so-called help?

I suggest entering the distribution as an ordinary cash withdrawal using a charitable rollover category created for this purpose (like Charity but not associated with a tax-line item).
