Once you have finished entering all your Income and Deductions (including each of your charitable contributions), TurboTax will tell you if you qualify for the Standard Deduction or the Itemized Deduction.
If you receive the Standard Deduction, the cash donations you entered (up to a max of $300) will be entered on Line 10b of Form 1040 for you.
You are correct that you cannot enter an amount there yourself.
