Can I deduct a charitable contribution on a final (complex) trust distributing all income on the 1041?

I'm seeing red flags about deducting a charitable contribution for a complex trust on a 1041.  TurboTax puts up an "audit warning" and says 1041-A is required.  I looked at 1041-A, and it looks hairy.  Plus, the IRS says that the 1041-A is always due on a calendar year, meaning it would have been due on 4/15/2021, even though my 1041 is using a fiscal year ending 8/31/2021, and the charity donation was made in 2020.
