Deductions & credits

You can deduct up to $300 in cash donations ($600 for married filing jointly) in addition to the standard deduction. This is what the program is asking for. 

 

If you have $300 or more in cash donations, enter $300. If you have less than $300 in cash donations, enter that amount.

 

This question allows TurboTax to compare the total of your itemized deductions to the total of your standard deduction plus the $300 in cash donations.
