Retirement tax questions

No!  Deductions are reported on Schedule A Itemized Deductions and reduce your Taxable Income but not your Gross Income nor your Adjusted Gross Income.

Charitable donations are reported if you Itemize Deductions (As opposed to using the so-called  Standard Deduction - Single @ $6,300. heads of household @ $9,300, and married couples filing jointly.$9,300).  If you do not itemize, it would not matter.
