Deductions & credits

Thank you for your prompt reply. Let me see if a can clarify... My actual eligible cash charitable giving for 2020 was $8,109. When I prepared my 2020 return TurboTax advised me that based on income and perhaps other considerations that it was better for me to take the standard deduction which I did. Further, it informed me that I was allowed an additional $300 deduction over and above the standard deduction due to charitable giving. I claimed the $300 additional deduction. So, perhaps the question is, did me taking the standard deduction in 2020 negate $8,109 minus $300 being treated as a 2021 carryover?

 

Hopefully, this better states my question.

 

Thank you for your assistance.
