    I believe what you are citing is a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD).  You might start here for such discussions or search the community for QCD:

    I am still having a mental block , or something. My brokerage sent a check direct to a charity from an IRA and treating it as an RMD even though I never physically saw the cash. I understand how to enter the transaction for the sale of stocks/bonds so I end up with a cash balance in my IRA in Quicken. How do I enter the transaction for the check which the Brokerage sent to the charity so that it shows up in Quicken when I run my taxc schedule for this (2020) year?
  • I enter a withdrawal from my ira . enter name of charity . use charity as category. The withdrawal will count as part of your RMD for that year but it is not deductible on itemized deductions on your tax return.
