As a sole-proprietor, your business income and expenses are
all included as part of your personal tax return. Any charitable contributions made through
your business are included on Schedule A Itemized Deductions along with any
other personal contributions you may have made through the year. There is not a way to deduct the
contributions through the business.
Use the following steps to go to the section of your return
to enter your donations:
On the top row of the
TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax
locate the search box in the upper right corner)
This opens a box where you
can type in “charitable contributions” (be sure to enter exactly as
shown here) and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded
TurboTax, click Find)
The search results will
give you an option to “Jump to charitable contributions”
Click on the blue “Jump
to charitable contributions” link and enter your information
