Deductions & credits

To enter your charitable deductions, 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.
  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 No when asked if you have an ItsDeductible account (even if the answer is yes).
    4. Answer Yes to Do you want to enter your donations for 2020?
    5. Follow the instructions to enter your donations.

FYI, normally you have to itemize your deductions in order to benefit (receive a deduction) from your charitable contributions.  However, for 2020, you may take a charitable deduction of up to $300 for cash contributions without itemizing.
