Deductions & credits

Q. Can I still file taxes on donations if I donated money to myself?

A. No.  You may only deduct donations to qualified charities, under section 170(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. Nothing you described, so far, makes you a qualified charity as described in IRS Publication 526.
