Yes but they are automatic.  The 6,000/12,000 senior deduction will be calculated on 1040 Schedule 1-A page 2 Part V Enhanced Deduction for Seniors which goes to 1040 line 13b. It is separate and in addition to the Standard Deduction or your Itemized Deductions on 1040 line 12e. Turbo Tax automatically includes it if you qualify.   And you also automatically get the Standard Deduction unless your itemized deductions are more.  

Are you entering the donation in the charitable contributions section, under Deductions and Credits?   Are you using the desktop version or TurboTax Online?  What did you select for type of donation on the entry screen?

Yes you can transfer from 2024 on Windows to the Mac.  You need to copy the tax file ending in .tax2024 from the Windows computer.  It should be in your Documents then in a Turbo Tax folder.  Or search  your computer for all files ending in .tax or .tax2024.     How to Transfer into the Mac Desktop program https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/data-systems/transfer-last-year-return-2021-turbotax-software/L0SKCGkzn_US_en_US?uid=ldqe65tw   To Move For Windows…..What I would do on the old computer, is copy the whole Turbo Tax folder that is under your Documents. That should be where the .tax files and pdf files are stored. Also if you haven't done it, I would open each year in the program and save it as a pdf file, go to FILE - SAVE TO PDF so you don't need the program installed to view your return. Copy that folder to a flash drive or best yet is to burn it to a CD or DVD and then you will have a backup of them. Then on the new computer copy the folder (or files) from the flash drive to your Documents folder. You only need the tax return data file ending in .tax2024 to transfer into 2025. You can't transfer the programs. They have to be installed from the CD or Download. You don't need to install older programs unless you need to amend or you didn't save the pdf file. And they only support the last 3 years. If you install an older year you won't be able to update it or download any state programs, so you won't be able to open your return.

Then click on Print, save or preview this year's return. On the next page, to pay by credit card, click Pay Now.
