All of your charitable contributions will be entered into the Deductions and Credits > Charitable Donations section of your return. Then, if you are taking the standard deduction but you have donated up to $300 in cash contributions (up to $600 for Married Filing Joint), that amount up to the limit will be included on your return on Form 1040 line 12b.
If you are using a CD/downloaded version of TurboTax, use Forms in the upper right corner of the screen to view your Form 1040 and verify the entry.
If you are using TurboTax Online, preview your Form 1040 by using these steps while you are working on your tax return:
- In the navigation area on the left side of your screen, click Tax Tools to expand your choices
- Click Tools, which will open the Tool Center
- Click View Tax Summary under “Other Helpful Links…”
- Click Preview My 1040 to see your actual tax form
Be aware that you should not include any charitable contributions for Qualified Charitable Distributions. This would be considered to be double-dipping because the distribution that was donated to the qualified charity was never taxed on your return. You have already received the tax benefit for that charitable contribution.
