Charitable contributions that you deduct on your Schedule A as itemized deductions, must be made to qualified organizations, not individuals. Refer to the TurboTax Blog What is a Charitable Donation?
You can't deduct the money that you gave to an individual as a gift. Gifts aren't tax deductible. If your gift was more than $18,000 ($36,000 for a married couple), you will have to complete Form 709, which TurboTax doesn't support.
Refer to the TurboTax articles Where do I report a cash gift? and Tax Guidelines About Gifting.
