Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The stimulus and the charitable donation additional deduction are two separate entries in your TurboTax program.

 

First, by clearing out any override, then the cash donations made while also claiming the standard deduction will be taken. 

  • To see this in TurboTax, Follow these steps:
    1. Go to the left menu and select Tax Tools.
    2. Select Tools.
    3. Select View Tax Summary.
    4. Return to the left menu and select Preview my 1040.
    5. Scroll down to Line 10b to see what amount is being reported.
       
    6. To return to your program, return to the left menu and select Back.

Second, to get to the stimulus section and report the Recovery Rebate Credit, this is after the Other Tax Situations tab.

  1. Go to the search box and enter stimulus. Click the Jump to link.
  2. Answer Yes.
  3. At the next screen, Let's double-check the amount you received, answer No to edit the first-round and second-round amounts.
  4. If no stimulus amount was received, enter 0. An amount should be entered in each box. When finished, click Continue.
