Try going to the charitable contributions section of your return and enter your cash contributions there. TurboTax will take those amounts and apply them as an addition to the standard deduction up to $600 for a Married Filing Joint return.
Use these steps:
- On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)
- This opens a box where you can type in “charitable donation” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here) and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)
- The search results will give you an option to “Jump to charitable donation”
- Click on the blue “Jump to charitable donation” link and enter your information
