Here is how to find the correct area on your return for the donation of a vehicle:

  1. Select Federal from the left side menu.
  2. Click on Deductions and Credits near the top middle.
  3. Click on, "I'll choose what I work on" on the right.
  4. Expand the list and scroll down to Charitable Donations.
  5. Click Start or Update to the right of Donations to Charity in 2021.
  6. Answers the questions about the charitable organization first.
  7. Add your donation of Items.
  8. As you proceed, the questions will ask for the information on your 1098-C.

I have the form, in TurboTax when you enter Search for 1098-C that is the one 1098 form that doesn't come up even though the video shows it
