Can i file for church tithes and offering

[DS30]

Yes. You can include these are charitable deductions if you itemized on your tax return. You should have received paperwork from your church related to your tithe (If not, you can contact the church to get this information.)

You will only be allowed to take charitable donations if you itemize on your tax return.  If you don't have any other itemized deductions, TurboTax will deduct the greater of the standard deduction or itemized deductions. For 2015, the standard deduction starts at

$6,300 for Single,

$12,600 for Married Filing Jointly, or Qualifying Widow(er) with dependent child,

$9,250 for Head of Household,

$6,300 for Married Filing Separately

For over 65 and/or blind, add $1,250 for each instance (or add $1,550 each instance if single and not a surviving spouse).

So if your only itemized deduction is for charity and it is below the standard deduction, TurboTax will still take the larger standard deduction on your tax return. Thus no change in your refund amount.
