Can I use a form 1098-C that I have with a standard deduction?

[SweetieJean]

No. You must itemize.

Yes, you can. Your charitable deductions will not affect the standard deduction but it might make a difference in your state return. I suggest entering it in the federal return unless you do not have to file a state return.

If you have other questions about this, ask in the comment section below.
