Deductions & credits

You can deduct the value of the items you donated as a charitable contribution and if you itemize deductions (instead of taking the standard deduction).  To enter your charity contributions, you have two options:

 

  1. Enter your charitable donations in our free ItsDeductible program which is available year-round. When tax time comes, simply import your donations from ItsDeductible into TurboTax.   OR
  2. Manually enter your charitable donations directly into TurboTax:
    1. Open your return in TurboTax.
    2. In the search box, search for donations and then select the Jump to link in the search results.
    3. Answer Yes to Do you want to enter your donations for 2019?
    4. Follow the instructions to enter your donations.

Since it is already tax time, option 2 is probably the easier option.
