Depending on your filing status and if, in your itemized deductions, you are reporting cash charitable contributions, the standard deduction plus this additional deduction may actually be higher than your itemized deductions.
If you made cash charitable contributions in 2021 and take the standard deduction, you are eligible for a $300 (filing single) or $600 (filing married filing jointly) deduction on top of the standard deduction.
See Cash Charitable Contribution for more specific information about the deduction for 2021.
