Yes. You could choose either of the methods described by Opus17. If you choose Option 2 and mail in your tax return, you can leave the 1099 off your return in TurboTax. However, you will have to send the 1099, along with an explanation, in the envelope with your tax return. I will also advise to mark every page of your additional paperwork sent with your return with your name and social security number.
As previously stated, funds received through a GoFundMe account are not a charity donation because the IRS has strict guidelines on what constitutes a charitable contribution.
However, this is still considered a donation and you can use that terminology in the explanation to the IRS.
