Charitable contributions and other itemized deductions must exceed your standard deduction before you begin to see a benefit towards reducing your tax burden and increasing a tax refund.
At or about $2,400, the accumulation of your itemized deductions must have exceeded your standard deduction. The 2021 standard deduction for a Single taxpayer is $12,550.
When reporting for 2020, you had already equaled or exceeded your standard deduction when you began to enter charitable contributions.
The standard deduction or itemized deductions can be viewed on line 12a of your Federal 1040 tax return at Tax Tools / Tools / View Tax Summary / Preview my 1040.
