If you are using standard deduction there is no reason to enter charitable donations. They will have no effect on your refund or tax due. Charity donations are itemized deductions that go on Schedule A. If you do not have enough itemized deductions like mortgage interest, property tax, etc. to exceed your standard deduction, then entering donations will have no effect.
