For 2021 TY, you can claim an "above-the-line" cash donation of
up to $300 for singles and $600 if married for cash donations made to charity.
In Turbo Tax, the amount of cash donation will be posted only if you have not entered the cash donation in the “charity” section and only if you use the “standard deduction”.
You must click the “Wrap up tax breaks” at the bottom right of the Deductions & Credits page.
