Deductions & credits

It depends. The charitable donations may be added to line 10a if you have other adjustments to income from Schedule 1, line 22

 

If not, it appears to be working in TurboTax after testing. You must enter it in the charitable section as usual and then click the "wrap up deductions and credits" for it to pick the standard deduction and apply the $300 above the line. Keep in mind that if you itemize deductions your charitable donations will only be used there.

Check your entry by using Tax Tools.

  • To find Tools: 
    • Sign into your TurboTax account and open or continue your return. 
    • Select Tax Tools in the left menu. 
    • You'll find Tools beneath Tax Tools.
    • Select View Tax Summary
    • Select Preview My 1040 (left black panel)
