This TurboTax Help states:
- For this year, even if you don’t itemize, you may take a charitable deduction of up to $300 for cash contributions made in 2020 to qualified organizations.
I created a 2020 Federal tax return in TurboTax Online Free Edition. I was able to enter a $300 cash charitable contribution under Federal / Deductions & Credits / Donations to charity in 2020.
I was able to view the $300 deduction on the 1040 in TurboTax Online by following these directions.
- Down the left side of the screen, click on Tax Tools.
- Click on Tools.
- Under Other helpful links, click on View Tax Summary.
- Down the left side of the screen, click on Preview My 1040 to see the actual tax return that you prepared.
- Under Review Tax Summary, the entry will be listed under Adjustments to Income.
- Down the left side of the screen, click Back to return.
If you are able to view the Federal 1040, the entries are on lines 10a and 10b and 10c. You can print or view your full tax returns prior to filing after you have paid for the software.
