Deductions & credits

Where are you seeing this?

On a 2022 tax return charitable contributions are entered as itemized deduction on Schedule A Lines 11 and 12 with any carryover from a prior tax year on Line 13.

 

The total of all your itemized deductions on Schedule A must be greater than the standard deduction for your filing status to have any tax benefit.
